Thanks @Queenie 

One of the good things about train travel is the social aspect.  I am already planning more trips.  I dont want to just sight see ... there needs to a little mnore to interest me ... but I am finding that.

Hope you are well.

So pleased you had a good trip @Appleblossom

Train travel has it's own romanticism about it doesn't it @Appleblossom? It isn't so much about the destination but the journey itself... a little like life really (well that's what I am discovering of late). 

I love long distance train travel. I once went from Brisbane to Cairns on a train (it takes 24 hours roughly to get there) return. Thank goodness for the onboard showers, toilets, galley (which was like a cafe). I ended up playing Uno with a backpacker headed the same way as me at 3am. Couldn't have done that if I drove myself of flew there. It's about the people you meet, their stories and experiences, which add to your experience. Plus, you get awesome travel tips!

Yes @Queenie and it can be confirming that the human race is not all bad.

It is a big thing for me as .... For a long time (35 years) I was not up to travel for myself.

I felt the responsibility to provide holiday experiences for family, but that was different.

Wow a train with showers ... I have not seen one of those yet .. on my bucket list!

Hi Bella @outlander

I am looking forward to seeing the pics behind the triangles!

How are you tonight?

[outlander]

They are taking a bit longer than usual tonight. Im waiting on a few to be approved too. I think youll like them @Appleblossom
Im going ok besides aches pains and a few frustrations ( mostly caused by my hand and not being able to do much.

How r u going?

[Appleblossom]

Thanks @outlander I think the mods are busy with the concerns over the netiquette thread.

I am good. I have had a few good days. I am a bit concerned about my boy but have to sit with that.

I was pretty horrified when you told me about your hand.  I know you love horses but they can do a bit of damage.  Joints are notoriously difficult but you have been pretty cheerful about it. I kept pushing myself when younger and ended up having more permanent injuries.  Listen to your body. There is a wisdom in it.

Gently Gently.

I would say they are. Im staying away from there though @Appleblossom

Whats happening with your son?
Ive had many injuries from horses. Ive got a damaged foot that wont heal now and will end up with arthritis as i age. As well as spinal injuries again will end up with further issues down the track.
My hand is healing ever so slowly. Its been 2 months now. Ive been trying to keep a level head about it but sometimes it gets really hard to do esp when it gets painful or more painful i dhould say.

Any plans for tomorrow?

I know you are a bit of a veteran ... which is sad for your age but you are also ...

a tough cookie ...  spiritually@outlander 

I had a rehearsal rescheduled so all that is on .. is a counselling session with my son plus get on top of housework etc  ...

There is a lot to go into ... and I kinda want to respect his privacy. 

Still cant see pics
