On a BA flight from LHR to CPH the other week, the FA in J somehow tripped and upended the tray onto the passenger sitting opposite. He was mortified and she was quite a good sport about it - took off her shirt and just wore a cardigan.

SWMBO reached behind her seat to try and pull it forward, in the process knocking over that passenger's white wine.... It was also a Finnair J flight from Helsinki to somewhere in Europe....

A few from the boat down from Pak Ben to LP. Was good, well organised, it was Nagi Cruise, more than happy with them.

We enjoyed ours when we did it, same route, can't remember if we stayed in Pak Ben though (which is where the public boats that ply the route stop), but I do remember out accommodation and across the river the elephants bathing in the morning.

And now up in the big smoke for a few appointments - Holiday Inn Express Little Collins Street is one of our go to's as breakfast and parking included, and used PC Q hotel $50 voucher.

Took ourselves off to check out Il Mercato Centrale, 3 minute walk. Over priced and not a patch on Firenze

Over to Miss Mi

Went to the Buffalo Dairy today, unfortunately Susie has had to go back to Sydney briefly, however we did see Steven and Rachel and had some tasty cheese.
So impressed with what they have done.
Then we decided to follow the road south, hmmmm,, not such a good idea! May have marking of number 1, but in places it wasn't much more than a buffalo track.
Then joining the number 4 highway back to LP. it is the main road north, boy, some of the potholes would out do those in Canberra.

The last of the autumn colours around the London burbs.

It's also the first time in 2, maybe 3 weeks that there has been blue sky.

Look closely!

Trust me, I didn't photograph the bad bits, I was too busy hanging on to the steering wheel, it had recently rained but had dried out, some trucks had been through, so there were very deep ruts. Hopefully the better half has some.

More of the farm from the boss.
