BNE-SYD QF, 737, looks like the 737s used for international? Had a working IFE …

Packed flight as the next one out of BNE was cancelled. However, my shadow stayed … 😎 (or the plane was not as packed as it was announced by the FA & CSM)

My row-mate 8A and I were happy with the shadow :-)

I should be doing BAS, but this is more fulfilling. Recent trip to Tassie.

Evandale hotel. Arrived late at night due to a delayed flight into LST. Went to the bar for a nightcap, got confronted by an aggressive patron challenging me to a game of pool as a proxy for a duel. Haven't played for years but I drew deep from the reservoir of wasted years in pubs, the soul of Eddie Charlton flowed through my hands. I don't want to say it was a humbling experience for him. But, it was.

I grew up in North-Western Tasmania and simultaneously love and loathe it. Blissful afternoon skiing at Headhorse Creek. Later in the day, we managed to fit in bouts of sexism, racism and homophobia at the local surf club.

Last time I skied was in the last millennium. Like riding a bike.

The produce. Didn't deliver the flavour I expected but reasonable.

Josefy Chromy tasting then lunch. Sublime experience.
 
Went for a drive, by chance found a once yearly sword dance at Blata, about 35 km from Korcula.
It was warm, we were there for 45 minutes, I was told they went for 90 minutes, I think they are a bit fitter than me.

I have some more that I need to cut down, post later.

We gate crashed another wedding, she is meant to be a local actress. Dubrovnik.

Couple in last photo were best man and matron of honour.
