I have been hired by a publishing company to write reviews on every cafe and restaurant in the Blue Mountains. So far I have tracked 90 in 8 towns and still have 10 towns to go. Not a bad deal, but as the rain pours down outside and train rushes by I wish I could just hop on that train to anywhere.

We live next to the train tracks, they go by every 30 mins to take you anywhere in Oz. As a teenager I use to hop trains all over Europe to see as much as I could in a day. I miss those days sometimes, the freedom to just explore the world without worrying when to get home so hubby can have the car and to cook dinner for the kid. Have to settle for planned trips for awhile, better than none at all.

Almost noon, ready for the rush...caffine that is. I have to atleast have a coffee in every place I go to each day as I am also working on a piece of where to find the best coffee in the mountains. No sleep for a while with that rush, atleast I'll get lots of work done.
