Never seen a dog so excited to see people, go out for two minutes and she’s like I’ve left her for a week.

Very intelligent and gets us walking everyday.

Barks at a fly but is an absolute wuss.

Our last dog was a kelpie (father in-law breeds them), she died at 13, probably only calmed down at 11 :lol: .

My boxer is exactly the same.

One of the reasons a dog is man's best friend. Lock your dog and your wife outside for a few hours, and only one of them will be happy when you let them back in!

I have had 3 collies growing up, great dogs although when they get to a certain age they turn crazy. Something snaps in their brain.

Great dogs but need exercise daily otherwise they go crazy

Looking forward to visiting Perth for the first time in my life on the October long weekend. Going to the Bledisloe Cup at Optus Stadium with the old man on the Saturday night.

Really looking forward to getting back to Lembongan for a week & then Gili Trawangan for a week,
sooooooooooooooooooo much better than Bali,
Bali is just an airport now,
the islands off Bali are much cleaner, quieter, no spruikers, better people & safer food.

We stayed in Bay Shore Huts on Lembongan, would go again in a heart beat and the Pullman at Mandalika on Lombok, right near the race track.

Recommend both highly. The huts are more basic as expected and the Pullman is proper luxury.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

The Novotel on Lombok used to be our go to but since the Pullman was built that’s become the favourite. With the automatic 2 to 3 level upgrade it means we are guaranteed a suite of some description along with a stack of other perks.
All this talk has me wishing I was there right now though

That's why I like Sanur, it's away from the chaos of Kuta and Legian, I'll venture in for a day trip to grab a bargain but everything I want is within 1km of where I stay.

Probably cost just about the same.

It shits me a bit, for around $1500 I was able to stay in a Vlila for 10 nights with return flights, I can't stay on the YP for that much.
