The view from my "office"

[VPS]

That would be Venus. Nice.

I thought it was but didn't want to jump to conclusions. It's been very bright all week

I cheated. There’s an app for that!

It’s been on and off overcast here in SYD so I hadn’t noticed it myself.

Hope the weather holds out!

My office for the next three nights. 27th floor in Nikko Hotel Tokyo Daiba overlooking Tokyo Bay. In the first photo the bridge lights weren’t on, in the second light rain had obliterated many of the lights across the river.

We go to the opera in Sydney a few times a year, but never on the harbour. The weather unreliability worries me.

We have been very lucky the last few years. One day I will be watching it as the heavens open to make up for the good luck.

You have to worry for the musicians and their precious instruments.

You have to worry for the musicians and their precious instruments.

They are under cover. The singers are in the open air 'though. Apparently rain doesn't stop the show, just lightning.

Nutgrove office. River Derwent, Hobart.

 

[Flashback]

The cops are a little hard up at the moment, can only afford this old Lada to run around in.

Run down communist architecture - Buzludzha Monument.


The road to it wasn't so great....... (this was actually probably the best part of it!)


We ended up in Veliko Tarnovo

Was the Opera le Tele Tubbies?

 

[RooFlyer]

Todays office was Bruny Island, visiting some historic properties.

Google “Waterview John Wardle” and you’ll get the story on this place - 1830s cottage, done up by an architect and won a zillion awards.

I’d say it was adequate as a week-ender









Every place needs a fire pit






Outside dining for 10 or so



Because you might have guests in the shearing shed ( tin shed in the first pic)

It was Madame Butterfly.

Friday afternoon's views on a bushwalk. Cascais, Portugal but it could have been Australia.

Our office yesterday and today: Guesthouse Casa do Escritor in Évora. It is part of a historic house, but the guest rooms and the swimming pool are a more modern addition in the back.


The breakfast room.

Just 15 km from Évora is Cromeleque dos Almendres, a 7000 year old megalithic horse shoe shaped monument, 2000 years older than Stonehenge.



About 2 km to the East, the direction of the open side of the horse shoe, stands the Menir dos Almendres, a single 4 m tall stone which marks the place on the horizon where the sun rises at the summer solstice, as seen from the Cromeleque.


It reminded me of Obelix and his menhir. Are any of his fans out there?

I wonder what was going on in this office I passed in Lisbon.
