Congrats on all the above.

The Guvnor was my law lecturer not that long ago. Lovely person.

Except occasionally you have a car speedo that under registers which was my unfortunate experience.And not just a little under but 10Kph.
So ever since I know what my true speed is.current Hyundai is on 100kph when reading 102 but at 60Kph it reads 65.

My understanding is that it is illegal for manufacturers to sell cars with under-registering speedos - but OK if they over-register. Hence why they err on the side of caution, I guess.

I guess fitment of non-standard wheels or tyres may mess with the speedo.

RFS fundraiser and bushfire awareness.

Santa travels in style - not at all worried by the ***ANCAP rating!!

I wonder if I ask nicely, whether Santa will bring me a new Mustang!

Hey JohnM ... your avatar looks suspiciously like the painting hanging on the bar wall. Is there a story behind that?

Didn't you know he's also an artist/art dealer? I'll let him tell the real story though.

Happened to be across the road this morning from the under construction Private Jet Base being built at MEL

Menzies is the town closest to the Lake Ballard statues (there’s about 50 of them). I was there earlier in the year.

It’s a quite spectacular art installation - worth a visit if in the region or worth Googling to read the story.

Miss H notched up a second milestone before we departed today... the first smashed plate in the new lounge. Whoops!

Maybe she thought she was in Athens?

you know....

Hmmmm...feel like Spanakopita now...

You must be camped somewhere near where my father was born - Davyhurst.

Just completed my 3rd trip west this year and with some help was on this plane home.

Thought the rego was good, some may recognise.

Cold, wet and foggy. Not looking good for me to get to work today ... and there's no milk for the coffee.

View from the train to work today.

Got an extended and private office for our flight from PLJ-BZE-CUN.

Two extra sectors thrown in for free - the last one was a snappy 8mi

Sunset over Red Rock Canyon, NV

Duelling contrails over the Nevada desert.

The cellar I wish I had. It’s in one of the restaurants at Mandalay Bay. Three storeys high and a robotic arm places and retrieves each bottle when required.
