Good Morning all my blogosphere friends. Well it was my turn this time to have no power...and no power we had for 17 hours...yes that is right 17 hours.
It first went off at 11am Sunday morning and you just never know how long it is going to stay off for, it usually comes on after a few hours!
I have 2 lots of guests in also, one lot in our front water view apartment who are in for 6 nights and the other couple just arrived Sunday afternoon to the power off and going by the looks on their faces they were not impressed.
This lovely couple from the UK arrived into Sydney from Hong Kong on the day of the dust storms and they had to stay in the air for 5 hours before landing...could you imagine! Then they arrive into Victoria with absolute extreme weather conditions! The winds were so strong, the rain was pelting down, the thunder and lightning was clapping and it was freeeeeeezing!
The hotel in our town saved the day, with their generator both lots of guests were able to have their meals and warm up by the large lovely fire place in the hotel.
I am guessing the power came back on around 4am this morning for I awoke at 3:30am to pitch black and I could not believe the power was still off and I was just a little bit concerned about my UK friends and just hoping and praying that they were having the best sleep ever!
To make sure my guests leave Mallacoota with a positive experience I will give them a very large discount and I am hoping they leave with a smile on their faces!

Do you like it? Popcorn I mean! Yes, I hear you, I love it too, like who doesn't? I don't know one person who does not like popcorn!
Okay, so your wondering, why on earth am I rambling on about good old popcorn.
Well you can blame my ds's violin teacher. Today I dropped my ds off for his half n hour violin lesson and came back 25 min later.
When we walked in Joshua and his teacher were plucking notes on there violin and at the end I asked her why they were doing that!
She went on to explain that sometimes musicians pluck their violins when playing in an orchestra.
So here it is....you ready...the reason why 'popcorn' is in my head~
"Have you ever heard of the 'Popcorn' song?" she said "um, no I don't think so"
So then it came, that tune that you just cannot forget and she began to pluck it on her violin...
"oh, that tune"! I cannot even tell you where I first heard it, probably to one of the dance remixes.
I heard it once and the popcorn song has been going over and over in my head since 2:15pm. It really is very simple, but very catchy and no wonder it became a number one hit.
Here is a bit of history:-
Despite the wide range of music Gershon Kingsley has composed, he is most well-known for a 1972 instrumental dance hit called "Popcorn." Kingsley recalls that he wrote the primary melody to "Popcorn"
in about 30 seconds.
Thesong quickly became an international hit, with cover versions sprouting up all over the world. It hit number 1 on the German charts and sold over one million copies in that country alone.
Will you now take the plunge and move your little mouse over to the play button on the you tube video below to join me in listening to the 'popcorn' song!
Can you remember the first time you heard this song and tapped your toes, moved your head and sung it over and over in your head? Please tell, I am curious!
I guess it really does sound like popcorn popping in the pot after all.
Please take 5 minutes today to watch this and listen to these amazing gifted and gorgeous group. I just love the fact that they just started singing in an unusual place!
