The view from my "office"

[Major]

Same here, plus on a few other large roundabouts in France. MrsK would fret, but I just kept doing laps, gradually moving outwards (like a local - indicator on smiling and waving) until I could duck off onto the exit I wanted.

I would do the same when I was driving camping tour mini buses in 1970. When you know what exit to take I never did more than 2 laps but usually only 1.
I never saw any really agro drivers, they usually just slowed down and let you drift across.

80km/h gusts in Port Macquarie yesterday but back to sunbathing weather this morning

Todays view of Osaka from 32nd floor of the Swissotel. Plus they let me check in at 10AM… score!

I was pleased with myself that it only took me 2 laps to get the right exit at the Bastille roundabout. It is not as bad as the Arc but still fairly hairy driving a left hand drive car for the first time.

Yesterday's view. Kyu Shiba -rikyu gardens, Tokyo. Normal entry fee 200 yen but for us over 65's 50 yen.








And a map of Australia maybe.


And we are at the end of spider lily blooming.

Reminds me transporting Bengal tigers to Japan for the Monte Carlo Circus in very early eighties.

Coming to the end of the school holidays so we took the grandkids up to the beach at Alkimos in the northern suburbs. It was 34 C today. They had a big run about in the excellent playground and then splashed around on the waters edge.

For those who know the area, the end freeway is now very close to Yanchep and the construction of the rail extension, also to Yanchep, is well underway. What surprises me is that there are literally hundreds of new houses being built in the north of Perth yet there is still a housing crisis. Obviously they need to build thousands of houses.



The wreck of the eponymous SS Alkimos was much higher out of the water than I have seen it for years. I guess it was a low tide.

My early morning office view today. Sunrise over Tokyo bay.

 

[Flashback]

The view from our DOH office. Even survived the journey in cattle class, been a good 5 years or so since we've braved that! A nice touch with the F1 logo on dessert. Passport control really busy here, I assume most of the people in line are coming in for the F1 GP as normally it's dead quiet here.

Goes out of the north terminal from LGW so no BA lounge, they use Clubrooms which was very decent with the made to order menu in play.

So @drron - have you enjoyed a little shop at ISSIE - so handy there is one on every corner of Tokyo?

It's quite warm, but the flight was delayed so landed after 6pm so the sun had already gone down which helps massively and makes it much more bareable. Heck, even Mrs FB (Irish stock) is doing alright at the moment

What I was really surprised at though is just how strong the breeze is, going to be throwing the F1 cars around the track. We've just got back from a walk along the corniche and it was blowing a gale pretty much the whole time.
