The view from my "office"

[RB]

Made our way to Gal Oya Sri Lanka yesterday- only ones at our resort overnight



Chicken noodle lunch

I reckon going down that would be even more painful than the hike up!

I ended up in that no man's land as I was about to head down.... if I hustled, I could make the 12.30 bus back and if not it'd have to be the next one at 2.30; so I ended up jogging down all the way back to town, so I took the easier zig-zag path down

Of course, the bus was about 15 minutes late so I needn't have bothered ....... !

Any reason why you were the only ones there?

My afternoon office. In a church no less.





He had come to the Sunshine Coast to visit a local business who make the auxiliary power units for the Bushmaster. but also to say thank you to this fellow who runs Sunshine and Sons Distillery. He had made a "Ukraine" gin and i had a bottle. but selling those he had raised $450000 for the orphans of Ukraine.


It certainly was a busy day for the Ambassador who started at Eagle Farm at the business who makes sure the Bushmasters sent to Ukraine were in top shape.
He left the meeting to go to MCY and fly to SYD where he boards a plane to fly back to the Ukraine.

And a lovely sunset last night watching the planes take off

At very first glance, it looked like he was behind that drum kit!

And sunset from Port Broughton tonight from the deck. Sunrise and Sunsets have been pretty spectacular in SA recently. @RooFlyer - this is where we fish! But not this weekend sadly.

A friend that normally builds roll cages and bodyshells for rally cars here in Canberra is welding aluminium ammunition boxes at a local fabrication shop in Hume to go to the Ukraine. They are based on an American design that is decades old and could be improved, but it’s always the way we have done this, so it will continue.

Our last day on Maggie had audio with the "view". The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" booming out from the Barnacle Bar (unable to upload audio)

I’ve got about 4hrs of work this morning so Mrs Jase is going shopping. Have to be content with my office window being the Pullman Jakarta Thamrin. Not as much smog today so can actually see clearly

 

[Flashback]

My office between Mostar and Sarajevo, fairly on time .. spacious .. and a/c worked beautifully. £10 return for 2 hours each way, not too shabby.


The station left a bit to be desired though But, unlike most European stations it did have free toilets!

Settling in at our destination.

Taumeasina Island Resort, Samoa​

It's a bit wet and windy, but it's warmer than Canberra

Not the only "shadow" I got today, from TSV - BNE.
Apparently due to lack of ATC in BNE slow scenic descent as only using one runway.

Todays view. CBR. Always a delight to see the C17

No J/F seating/lie-flat seats as well, I'm told

Is that traffic thick enough to qualify as a car-park?

That’s a quiet period
The smog is heavier than the traffic unfortunately as you can see in this photo.
And this is a good day for smog
