Oi! That's my usual seat. Back corner of the gold bar, or whatever they call it now. Near the quiet zone.
Still don’t know what the fuss is about Cathay First lounge LHR T3🤔

Interesting, not been able to get in around that time of day. Encouraging. Actually I was maybe 10am.

Live music and they were good.... Happily come back here again.

The results of the floods 6 weeks ago, not so good, however except for the tide marks, given the cleanup, you would be surprised as to what happened.

Nak Nakara. Nak Nakara Hotel - Chiang Rai | Thailand

Cabbages and Condoms restaurant, part of the local family planning organisation and the aforementioned Hill Tribe Museum.

 
I was in Yunnan province in China in the mid eighties, saw a few hill tribe people in some small villages, relatively quite close. I'll have to dig them out and see if I can recognise some of the tribes.
More about the floods.

This afternoon’s “office” in Nannup: Nannup Brewing. However, we just found out all the beers are from Tall Timbers Brewery in Manjimup from Nannup’s recipes. (That is our next stop.). There is a smoker out the back though. Yumm! Great food menu here, too.

80% of my office time is spent mobile - hence this photo of "my office". Actually an office I have grown fond of. Despite current day-time temps around 42 degrees, this amazing vehicle has an aircon system that drops that to about 40. And although I may not have some fancy coffee machine thing, I do have a solar panel + fridge that I can park my 5 litre water cooler filled with ice and green cordial in :).
