The view or two from my "office"

[RooFlyer]

Crossing the Durmitor mountains in Montenegro. About 90 mins so far on narrow winding roads; stunning

overlooking the Piva gorge with a hydro impoundment, northern Montenegro.

 

[Flashback]

Weligama, Sri Lanka.

Bit moody in Cornwall this morning (then it absolutely persisted down)

Walking through the car park at work and saw this little fellow and lots more coming. Something new for me. Dactylorhiza - Wikipedia

I've seen some pretty cool flowers here, the spider lilly especially so!


And.... the famous straw plant.

 

[OZDUCK]

Perouges - a medieval walked town 30 km northeast of Lyon. It has been used as a filming location for movies like a French version of The Three Musketeers. No power lines etc in sight. Thanks to Flashback and Cambriamarsh for the recommendation. The walk up the hill from the gare was pretty gruelling for my 71 year old knees

 

[Flashback]

My morning office in Weligama after a rather humid jog to get me going for the day

Arles

Roman Amphitheatre 90AD. The square tower is a medieval addition.

Ohrid Macedonia

Church of St John-taken during a very pleasant sunset cruise


St Sofija as seen from our balcony-fortunately no bell tower

Train to London

Poor seat selection with limited views.

Change trains soon so first class and Pullman dining.

Did my very grumpy old lady. Couple 3 rows in front face timing on iPad and they are old so volume up. I went up and said “do we need to hear this “. Of course they didn’t hear me and the person on the other end said did someone say something. Lady on train says I don’t know I couldn’t hear what she said. ]They closed it down shortly

Just trying to load photos this is so true.

In the Emirates office, North Terminal, Gatwick. Very quiet, excellent food and service.

Lovely message for all Mum's out there today on our local pier on the Mornington Peninsula

Usually walk to it, but driven there by keen, teen grandson on his L's - getting his hours up (note : engine not on, just mapping it on his phone in this photo - not sure why as we've walked there heaps of times !!)

Isn't it terrifying to sit in the passenger seat with a learner driver behind the wheel. 60 k is absolutely flying and you have no brake pedal on that side

This is more like it. J class in a train

3 people in 18 seats

Couple just boarded with a baby

 

[RooFlyer]

Pens and another souvenir of Sarajevo

 

[OATEK]

Boarded for LGW-DXB

Now into the Pullman dining

No baby

No wine by the glass so I now have a bottle

As Ethel used to say -"You tell em luv".

Update and I’ll stop now.

They won’t serve me anything because all food has been prepared in the same facility as fish. So I get a free salad and sandwich that was made somewhere different

Not quite from my window - but from the balcony of my other home - in Egypt - haven't been there lately though -
