Location: Dubai - London, 2011 I was on my way to a conference in Ghent, Belgium. I was given an upgrade to Business Class with Emirates and this was the dessert a Banana Panna Cotta (and yes, it was DELICIOUS!!)

We purchased our house back in 2005, and moved then moved into it in the June. This is what it looked like out on the back veranda...
One of the first things to be done, was L and her dad repaired some of the broken glass in the windows, which was done in the middle of winter when I was overseas I might add! Then it was a matter of a quick lick of paint, as seen in this picture.
Now, after nearly 10 years, this is how the back veranda looks, with some cast iron columns, cedar fluted posts and a bit of furniture (currently inside whilst Bronty is a puppy)

This is the start of a 'catch-up of OVER a month, so my apologies for not keeping up due to being busy and a little bit of "what do I post"...
BUT, in 2010 when I was in Germany, I caught up with (for the very first time, Maribeth who was also in Germany (Berlin)! We went to the Tierpark Zoo for the day, and we had a ball. This photo, was simply 'Funny'!!

This phot, is quite literally, a corner of the house! It is the join from where the tuckpointing, facade, meets the repoint, side, of the house. I had this redone in January 2011, and I am so happy with how it turned out! It not only made it look better, but it also corrected any cracks that may have been there!

Green, as in colour or green as in Sustainable?? I'll opt for the later... Last year, we went to SITA at Kemps Creek. It is a waste processing facility that we use at work. We were shown the way in waste, our waste, is processed and managed.

In 2009, I had two interviews for different positions in Doha. On the second trip, I also had a trip out into the desert and down to the Gulf coast. Now, here is my driver, Basim, who didn't take off his sunnies!!!

Ok, I'm not particularly happy with this photo, but, Im not precious and I will post it anyway... I was out in the Newnes State Forrest, and I wanted to get down to the 'Lost City'. Unfortunately, for me, there was a bog hole that I got stuck in... Oh well, I got towed out and came home instead!

In this shot, we had not long left Berlin's Tegel airport, shot through the clouds, and started tracking towards Helsinki's Vataa airport. I like flying, above the clouds or countryside gives you time to take it all in, ponder whats going on, and just enjoying the scenery below... Ahhh the bliss...

This is, although not technically, a sign... But, its painted onto the very edge of the platform at Woolooware railway station in Sydney. Its just a reminder that, there can be a gap between the train and the platform...

Its often said that at times, you come to a 'fork' in the road ahead of you... That came to me today, but not in a way you may think! I was taken out this afternoon, with a hood over my head, to an 'unknown' destination... I had mentioned to one of my 'captors' a few weeks prior, that I have a pretty good understanding of the roads of Sydney, and that a blindfold would be pointless (trying not to spoil the surprise, yet trying to keep them thinking of alternatives)!
When we arrived, I had sort of guessed where we were as soon as I sensed we were under a tunnel. And, I was correct, as we were at Eastern Creek Raceway! I was going on a 'hot lap' in a V8 super car!!! OMG, I was SO excited!!! After completing the paperwork (Indemnity) I had to get a race suit, and then onto a photo in front of a car, before a briefing.
Thanks so much J & M for the b'day present, it was fantastic, and something I will never forget!!
