The view from my "office"

The Nao Victoria, first ship to circumnavigate the globe.. and this replica, was the first replica to circumnavigate the globe as well.

Chatham Docks in Kent.

and they completely missed the green bits of Oz.

Always interesting to ponder the “sliding door moments” if the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch or French beat the Brits to Oz.

Just been in the Croatian office and returning back to Western Europe on IB

There was a middle aged white British man complaining at boarding about how chaotic it is. Made me realise how much I don’t want to be that person. Come on how much does boarding really matter. I feel as an early 30s I’ve matured more than he has after all my flights. Not to be elitist but must’ve been a sapphire or below as was in row 2 as I’ve had row 1 solo mostly on IB. Chill out and don’t sweat the small stuff

As a side note, I’ve really enjoyed IB. Had a nice prawn & cuttlefish with a saffron rice this evening with multiple riojas on a 2.5hr intra Europe.
