The view or two from my "office"

[OZDUCK]

We’ve walked that one.

More fascinating from an engineering feat is the much older Brunel Thames tunnel slightly upriver and now part of the overground (but underground from Wapping).

We literally walked past it last week and I’m now kicking myself I didn’t duck down - apparently you can still see that it was the former walkway from the Platform.

On the other side of the river is the Brunel museum but wild horses couldn’t drag SYD+1 there. So we settled for Fish & Chips and a River Thames office view.

That would have been interesting but as always time comes into play.

My Ruby Frida “office” in ARN might tempt Mr @Denali to visit.

They have guitars to borrow and amp setups in each room.

NGV 6pm tonight

Cartier Exhibition (private function)



Really worth a visit if in Melbourne, closes 4 October.
Mr Flyfrequently's Cartier 1980's watch that he never wears, was on display.

Tropea Italy is pretty stunning

After walking under the Thames yesterday today we walked over it on the Millennium Bridge

Nothing as spectacular as the overseas photos, but we enjoyed the forest walks. Giant treetop walk Walpole

We joined the crowds to get a sunset photo at Tropea

we walked over it on the Millennium Bridge

I was lucky enough to walk over it the second day after it opened - when it was swaying wildly. Quite the experience! They should have left it like that.

We have caught up with members of the extended family of my wife today for a group walk and have ended up a the bridge again today. The local organiser told the story about its initial problems.

Well, until it collapsed potentially drowning hundreds!

Civil Engineering 101!

They had 60 years post the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to understand the nuances of resonance and positive feedback. Think any basic rope suspension bridge you’ve ever crossed with more than a couple of peeps or a good wind blowing!

MAD office view earlier today. Just happened to look up and saw the Airbus Beluga flying overhead!


According to Flightradar24, it was doing a milk run TLS-Madrid-Chester-Hamburg today.
