The view from my "office"

Tonight’s “office” is the Emirates Lounge at Perth Airport. My first time here, and it is SO far above any Qantas business lounge I’ve been in. Actual Champagne: Veuve Cliquot and Moet & Chandon, quality wines and plenty of spirits and liqueurs.

Many delicious hot courses. And orange crème caramel.IMG_5316.jpeg

Today’s “office” is The Midland Hotel” in Manchester. It was built as a luxury hotel, and I think it remains one. Beautiful facades on all four sides, and lovely interiors. Among many important guests over the decades, it is where Mr Rolls and Mr Royce shook hands on their partnership.

Reminders of the old Bondi trams on my perambulations this weekend past. First the old Waverly tram sheds now the bus depot.

And on Bondi road at Waverley Park the old tram waiting shed where I would catch the tram back home after staying with my great aunt. About to fall over so being repaired.

An that hole in the wall was so you could see the tram coming when seated inside.
Amazingly a couple of hundred yards down (as it was in those days) my great aunts flat survives.

Her flat was the top one on the right.
