The view from my "office"

[prozac]

Glorious winter day lunching @ tides manly

Y’all will just have to use your imagination as the pic would not load and i do not plan to spend valuable lunching time editing pics to post

Nothing like Manly Cove on a crisp winter day. Always take overseas visitors to Skiff Club

PRC Premier’s 747 at CBR today. Flew in from ADL as CCA008, Air China.



Was tracking the flight and wanted to take a pic as it came to land, but the store was busy and I could not get someone to cover for me! But I did see it land and it was awesome! a big plane coming to land in CBR!

One of my mates who is an avgeek, was taking pics of the 747 - will ask if he is able to send me one.

Evening walk office: outbound.

On the inbound there were people drinking the champagne and looking joyful.

I decided against a pic.

Shorncliffe, Queensland.

Good news,

We were able to increase the image seize ceiling from 2,048 KB to 65,000 KB.

This should be sufficient to upload your pictures and with a bit of luck still enjoy your lunch @tgh

Thank you for your patience!

Quite enjoying the view from my domestic CL office this afternoon…

Yes, it works!

Tomatoes are very popular in Iceland. This farm grows four varieties and picks every morning for fresh delivery. They do ship some over to Greenland as it is so close, but nowhere else.

The vines are lowered when they grow too high. Foliage is striped off the lower stem, which is coiled near the ground. Seeds come from the Netherlands; bags of soil from Norway. The greenhouses are heated by water from hot springs, then once cooled, that water is used on the plants. They also import bumble bees from the Netherlands for pollination.

Lunch was very simple and very delicious tomato soup with fresh, crusty bread. Plus a green tomato juice and soda drink, which was really enjoyable.

I guess I'm back for a bit, sort of.

London, summer. Passport stolen from me by a certain skippy someone.... it'd better be a boomerang and come back in better condition than it left.



Yesterday's office, leaving Madagascar.

You'll know your way around! Many of the former crew on board?

Tomatoes are very popular in Iceland.

Iceland is also Europe's largest producer of bananas.

The S&P squid photobomb never gets tiring.
It also only costs $5 at authentic restaurants. Probably $1 in hawker stalls. I remember you can buy a whole fried squid for $2 and to be honest it's much more authentic than this (serving size also much more generous)

Iceland is also Europe's largest producer of bananas.

The urban myth that Iceland is Europe’s largest producer or exporter of bananas has been propagated in various books and other media. It was mentioned in an episode of the BBC quiz programme QI[9] and on a forum connected with the show.[10] According to FAO statistics, the largest European producer of bananas is France (in Martinique and Guadeloupe), followed by Spain[11] (primarily in the Canary Islands). Other banana-producing countries in Europe include Portugal (on Madeira), Greece (primarily in southern Crete), Cyprus, Turkey and Italy.

Although a small number of banana plants still exist in greenhouses and produce fruit every year, Iceland imports nearly all of the bananas consumed in the country, with imports now amounting to over 18 kg (40 lb) per capita per annum.[12] The Agricultural University of Iceland maintains the last such farm with 600–700 banana plants in its tropical greenhouse, which were received as donations from producers when they shut down (then the Horticultural College). Bananas grown there are consumed by the students and staff and are not sold.[8]
