I am so very tired today but there is a good reason for this. I bounded out of bed at 5:07 this morning to be on the doorstep of a friend’s house for her 35th birthday surprise. It was instigated by her husband and I was a mere player in the scheme. Amazingly she was clueless when I came in the front door and was a whole world of grumpy (she’s really not a morning person). My part in the plan was to make sure her children were fed and clothed after they woke up. I’m pretty sure she still had no idea what was in store until they arrived at the launch site of one of the many Hot Air Balloon companies here in Canberra.
With the winter chill definitely upon us, the morning balloons are a very pretty sight in the early morning especially when commuting to work. I haven’t been up in one yet but I’d like to try as I think there’s something magical about being at the mercy of the wind. Have you ever flown in one?
