COOLUM IS NOW OUR BASE

We have been back in Coolum now for 2.5 weeks and Auckland is just a distant memory; not somewhere we think of a lot. So....we have decided Coolum is now our home base.

It has been a busy time with Golf and Gym days alternating and in between we even managed to take in a few movies. MICHAEL CLAYTON is one we highly recommend. GEORGE CLOONEY stars in this entertaining and intelligent thriller. It is little too cerebral to be a big hit but it suited our taste and we found it highly enjoyable. The big surprise was DEATH AT A FUNERAL. Only the Brits can make outrageous comedies like this. A laugh a minute. Go see it.

As Coolum is now home base we decided it was time to stop sending AVIS money and we have purchased a waggon of our own. The LEXUS 350 is our choice and with satellite navigation, reversing camera, electronically set seating plus excellent handling; WE LOVE IT

JT and the Lexus 350
We also joined ITUNES Aussie and my first purchase was EAGLES, Long Road Out of Eden. What an album. It is the best blast from the past since Jerry Lee Lewis's LAST MAN STANDING. In my view, this CD is a must for all those who thrilled to those great EAGLES, FLEETWOOD MAC, PETER FRAMPTON, ROD STEWART and NEIL YOUNG albums from the late 70's. In other words all of us old music farts!

We just watched the final (on channel 10) of the USA's SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. We loved this programme; the dancing has been amazing.

Next week we are off to Sydney for the annual WARNER GOLF CLASSIC and we are looking forward to catching up with friends from the TV business, and to some golf too.
