Holidays, Hockey, And Heartfelt Moments

Well, just like that, my holidays have come to an end. I’m back on air on Monday, and I will tell you now, I am a little excited!
Sure, the last two weeks have been great. Sleeping in, movies, running training, hockey, weddings, fitness, and fun! All in the space of 14 days, I sure have packed a lot in.
Do you get up to a lot when you have a break? When you take holidays from work, do you hit the road, or relax at home in the garden? I hope you do, as it’s one of those things we all take for granted, but if we don’t do it, when will we?
During the past couple of weeks, I’ve had the fortune to get out of bed after 6 instead of just after 4. Let me tell you, it was a blessing. Sure, the alarm was turned off, but I still woke up at the same time but didn’t get out from the sheets. To me, that was special. Well needed, I reckon.
It certainly allowed me more time to go for a morning jog or fitness session with Steve Eden to get the day started, all while the sunrise was happening. I reckon it’s the best time of the day, especially along the Pioneer River. How good is it!
I’ve had the chance to catch up with my kids, head to the movies (you must see Fly Me to the Moon, it’s brilliant), and I’ve checked out the magical Cape Hillsborough and walked up to the various lookouts to see the whales and turtles. It’s just so good too.
Eungella is another place that looks so beautiful this winter too. Head up and see the elusive platypus at Broken River. If you can’t see them, just wait. Don’t rush away.
There’s been plenty of fun stuff happening these last two weeks. I’ve had some painting work done on the car (not my fault), I’ve walked Bucasia Beach a few times and tried to outrun two Labradors (they won), and I’ve also played a few games of hockey, one of which I nearly scored a goal in. Unfortunately, my hockey stick didn’t want to play the same game as me, so I missed and fell over. I’m sure the vision of the incident is on Kayo somewhere for a laugh too.
The big event of my holidays was the wedding of two special friends of mine, Emma and Andrew. They tied the knot Saturday last week at Greenmount Homestead in a beautiful ceremony that had hockey sticks, lolly rings, tears, and Harley Davidson motorcades. It was truly a special day to witness, plus being asked to be their emcee was the icing on the cake. I was honoured to be asked, and let me tell you, these two gorgeous people are just made for each other. The love they show for each other just shows that love still exists and is strong in these two. To Andrew and Emma, thank you for asking me, and here’s cheers to your lives together.
Well, I’m off to warm my rings and get ready for all the fun on 4MK from Monday morning. I hope I remember the password to the computer, remember to take out my hockey mouth guard, and I really hope I know where I left the coffee pot! I’ll need it!
