Been Busy

G'day everyone.


Looks like it has been just over a month since I last posted anything though I have been busy and distracted. The weather is cooling down in the nights and the early mornings. I come out to the loungeroom this morning to see all but the eldest child wearing clothes to keep warm. The eldest, well, she sat there reading her book unclothed feeling better without the wearing of cottons but she snuggled in quickly to warm up once I sat down.


Not a lot has been happening. The usual day to day routines I'm afraid.


My other activities are related to my involvement with Toastmasters International. I am currently the President of my club. The term ends at the end of June so I am tying up loose ends so that the incoming club executive isn't left with unnecessary unfinished business.


I went away for the Labour Day long weekend, the first weekend of May. There was a Toastmasters District Convention at Caloundra which is situated on the Sunshine Coast above the Greater Brisbane region. Say, a couple hours drive north of Brisbane.


At first I thought I was going to be staying in my kids tent, pitched in somebody's backyard but at the end of the week, I was offered a room in a unit/flat by another Toastmasters member. I took up the offer which was a Penthouse with panoramic views of the ocean, valley and the Glasshouse Mountains. It was fantastic, helped by having excellent hosts who I must say, spoilt me.


With my Toastmasters involvement, the end of June will see the end of my term as a Club President but the beginning of July will see me as the 2010-2011 Area 4 Governor. You see, the clubs come together to form an Area. Areas form a Division. Divisions form a District. Districts form a Region. Regions form International(the World).


This will see me travel a little bit around this region here and outside it a little. There are few naturist venues here. Well, they never seem to be where I want them to be. I like socialising with my fellow Toastmasterians(sic), but I would like to meet up with other naturists as well. But as people grow more fearful and paranoid of being viewed as a sex offender as we grow ever fearful of our bodies yet endorse photos of young teens in sexual poses, it appears that meeting up with others outside of an exclusive club is getting harder and harder.


Enjoy yourselves and stay naked!
