Painted Page: LONDON TO HAWAII ON 30p
http://paintedpage.blogspot.com/2011/10/london-to-hawaii-on-30p.html
Sunday, October 16, 2011. LONDON TO HAWAII ON 30p. Marks and Spencer did refund to me some cash for my returns, even though they were wet. I think the manager was very pleased to get me away from the other customers, and out of the store. I was so wet from the rain, and drained from the whole experience of being mugged again in London, leaving me penniless, and after the desperate bid for a refund for my purchases so that I could have some cash in hand, I was exhausted. Next morning I managed to drag mys...

Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Well here I am still gobsmacked after reading Lynne Cox's. Amazing story of how she swam through icy waters from Alaska across the Bering Straight. Not to mention swimming through snake and shark infested waters around the Cape of Good Hope! A shiver goes up my spine when I think of that lot! I never used to be like this in my younger years. Being born and raised practically on the edge of the Swan River. I didn't think about sharks, and they would have been around back then!

Thursday, August 25, 2011. How Can Anyone Get Mugged Twice? From London With Love! The first time I was mugged in London. Was at Knightsbridge Station. While walking through the crowded subway tunnel that led to the famous Harrods. When I felt a slight tug at my leather shoulder bag, bought especially for my overseas trip. I quickly glanced behind me. I must have imagined it I thought, and continued on my way. Seconds later I felt another tug. This time it was much harder! My red leather wallet! Said ano...

Monday, March 21, 2011. Cyclonic rain had been bucketing down for days! Everywhere you looked, there was water! Finally, we were alerted by the sounds of screaming sirens, over the radio, and television, telling us, to batten down! Floods Were On Their Way! We were advised to stock up with food, candles, torches, portable stoves, and anything needed to survive the days ahead. We were told to lift, and stack, whatever furniture we could,. Up on to tables, or benches, for protection against the. Had bought...

Sunday, December 25, 2011. When the new Millennium burst into life in the year 2000, it came to life midst an explosion of fireworks lighting up the magnificence of our fabulous Sydney harbour. The harbour that boasts both our famous 'Arched' Harbour Bridge and of course our distinctly designed Opera House. I thought as I watched the display from the comfort of my armchair in front of my television in my home on the Gold Coast. Beaming high up into the smokey sky bursting to it's full capacity. It was no...

Wednesday, November 16, 2011. My first visit to New York in 1985. Was for both business and pleasure. The business side of the trip was for my Interior Design business. I wanted to catch up on all that was available, and happening in this field for my work. I always thought that there could be more to learn and more to see in America. Apart from this I had wanted to see this big and exciting city. I loved most movies and novels set in New York. Every time I heard Sinatra. The Museum of Modern Art. We had...
