I love my local pool, always refreshing after a swim and a lovely community enjoyed by young and old.

Goree Island, Senegal. A fascinating look into the history of the slave trade.

'I couldn't be more excited': Melburnians ride the newly opened Metro Tunnel

It's the biggest upgrade to Melbourne's rail network in more than 40 years, and it's arrived — the long-awaited Metro Tunnel, along with its five new inner-city stations, opens to the public.

This morning I was on the first train through the Metro tunnel from Sunbury.





I travelled from Sunbury to ANZAC Station. The train was packed. People at stations en route couldn't fit on board. It was a fun atmosphere with cheering as we went down into the tunnel just after Footscray station.

The trip home reminded me of Melbourne trains of old. The train was 30 minutes late arriving at ANZAC Station. Then the doors weren't opened and eventually it left without taking any pax! Still, that's why they do soft openings. Fix up the problems.

The train from Sunbury was first in the tunnel with the train from the east entering a few minutes later.

Our Dakar office.

Ahh just like Melbourne trains of old - love it @Hvr

On the news, Guvment said there were no problems
Congratulations on your ride!

Our Joal-Fadiouth office. They call it the shell island, as the entire ground is covered in shells. One unique thing it has is Christian and Muslim graves side by side.

And the sacred boabab tree, in Fadial.

Last night's office for Christmas Carols on the Lawn.
My Samsung photo didn't do it justice (my friend has given permission for me to share)

The lighthouse is only lit like this on the night of and night before the Carols.

Well, it was PERfect this morning for a PERambulation on the beach and a PERusal of the scenery followed by an imPERtinent little surfing PERformance that left me feeling quite PERky.

Awaiting our Qantas Link (VH- 4A) flight to Canberra from Melbourne and something landing in the background.

At least 10 minutes late and have to get to cattery by 5:30 to collect the boy, so hope the plane makes up time.

Spent the arvo at the Christchurch ' ear force' museum office.


The airframe of a Vickers Vildebeest Mk III, one of the bombers used by the RAF and RNZAF in WWI, being restored. This was found during excavations of part of the airfield after it was sold to private enterprises. There aren't any existing designs of the mk III so they're restoring it by basing it on other Vickers models.


A Hawker Siddeley Andover C.1, one of the main transport aircraft used by the RNZAF in the 80s and 90s in its Middle Eastern and Pacific engagements.

There was a Hercules that arrived earlier this year after retiring from service but it's sadly not on display yet due to lack of exhibition space.

And with messaging like that drilled into you (BINGE), no wonder those PERthians have a drinking problem!

But for us escaped sandgropers, it's a nice relaxing office by the beach in Warang, Senegal.

Saturday afternoon for the Nut's, the PM's XI at Manuka Oval. Not a big crowd but turned out to be a pleasant afternoon, if a little breezy at the cricket followed by dinner at the Kingston Hotel.

Sofitel Wentworth (SYD) club lounge. Massive improvement in the food offerings from a few years ago. Could easily make a dinner out what's here.
