The view from my "office"

[Boca68]

My office last week...


The view to the left, Mismaloya , near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico



And to the right, sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. Life is soooo hard sometimes!

And my office today, view from Castilla Chapultepec , Mexico City on a gorgeous clear day...

 

[Flashback]

Well I didn't quite get what I had bargained for, getting off QF1 this morning. Motorways closed, bucketing down rain etc

But then I got to my "office" for the next week, and everything is better in the world

And to rival that..... a lit up sky with sunrise on the way into Doha, Qatar.


Found it humorous too as it matches the design on the credit card I was shunted to when they discontinued my American Airlines card.

When a girl wants fish for dinner, she just has to grab the bottles with the line, and catch 'em!



Unless of course eel is preferred, then you get Grandma to put them straight in the pot ...


but when a decent meal is needed, ask Dad get out the canoe and spear one!

My office from a couple of weeks ago. Buna (Bloody Buna from the PNG campaign of 1942). We are bringing in a new guest haus location (clearing a new field) and I was litterally shocked at the amount of spent and unspent war ammunition that was lying in the fairly small field. Every square metre was littered with it. We've all heard the stories, but it really drove home to me just how terrifying it must have been, seeing the magnitude of it, still lying there 76 years on.

And I forgot to add that it was not just ammunition. This is a skeleton. To their credit, the guys have notified the Japanese Consulate as the Japanese Gov't are currently repatriating as many of their dead as they can. There was a recent discovery off the Kokoda Track of a number of Japanese remains. They are DNA testing, so I'd assume if the remains belong to either an Australian, American or Papuan, the Japanese would notify the respective Government.

Should those people be holding those things ???? Cant they still go bang .... and blow off an arm or a leg ???

None of those are live. The .303 was but they are not silly people. They put a fire across the land first, to explode most of the live rounds. The .303 actually kept the bullet intact and blew out the side of the case (as there was no barrel to contain the case and direct the explosive force forward).

We did a talk with the kids about the dangers of live ammunition and also the dangers of stray bullets when the fire is set as there are plenty that go off!

Not sure about PNG but still in the Solomons the commonest cause of loss of a hand or arm in a young male is handling unexploded ordinance.
