Got the NSW Tourism Award submission in, but what a drama! Aged me by at least 20 years. Took on board all the great feedback I got and set to re-writing it all. I have new version of Word and I don't know all it's tricks and little ways. I was having dramas getting the spacing right, getting the margins right and getting it to wrap correctly. I was working on the formatting on the night before the submission was due. I got the spacing worked out and felt quite pleased with myself but when I scrolled up to the front page I was horrified to see that I had stuffed up the top of my front page! Then came my biggest blunder, makes me shudder now. I looked at the undo button and thought I know I'll keep going back & work out where I made the mistake and just take myself to the place just before and all will be good. So that's what I did and then I did a SAVE AS! Guess what all that I saved was the first page ALL the rest was GONE!
I was devasted. I was so tired a sort of calm was all I could feel. I knew I had a lot of work to do the next day to re-write the whole 30 pages all over again! I have no idea how I did it, but I did and managed to get it submitted with 10 minutes to spare. Lucky I could submit electronically.
Will have to wait and see if my submission was good enough. Competition will be pretty tough.
We have had some good interest in our vouchers and it was fun wrapping them up and posting them off. They look lovely in their deep red envelopes and purple & green ribbons.
We did a tour on Monday. Awesome girls; two from Sweden and two Swiss girls. Weather was amazing and we had a lovely afternoon tea at Rosewood River. Even took one of the girls to Spin Class at the gym that night with 3 of her other backpacker friends. We all got right into talking about the Millenium Trilogy and when Petra hesitated when we asked her what she did for a living we teased her that she was actually a spy and was under cover (just like the Millenium Trilogy, lots of intrigue!) We got lots of mileage out of that.
Working on our new flyers and making sure all our rides are included for the start of the season. Know exactly what we want.
