This is great! Add on 5 more. #Dogs #Cats 🦮🐈

These track marshals have to be some of the slowest I’ve seen in years

#F1 radio should be sponsored by Kleenex, so much crying about how mean the other drivers are :)

Ah Ferrari strategists, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Some things never change #F1

Maybe a suggested amendment to Papaya rules, No.1 - make it to the grid without binning it #F1

Ah, the night before Hogswatch #discworld #pratchett #hogswatch

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Amazing to see a small pod of dolphins at lunchtime today

Our Mandy looking all warm and settled #caturday

I’ve been transferring through Doha international airport several times a year for the last few years with very consistent and good security on arrival. Just came through today to a whole extra level. Every passenger had secondary screening. Coincidence with events in Iran and Israel I think

Well, that NATO meeting is going to be interesting now…

First time back in Rio de Janerio in nearly 40 years and it’s still as spectacular as I remember it

I love Perth when the Banksia are in flower.

This little girl, Maddie, came to us after 6 years in foster care, she is oh so timid but getting braver every day #catsofbluesky #cats

Followed the #F1 from Bahrain on the app, which was about as reliable as it seemed Russell’s car was today

Thank the Gods for #coffee

🔥MUST READ! Death of Tesla incoming! This Is How Tesla Will Die!🔥 www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/this-is-ho...

Oh this could be messy if it arrives #F1

Sand Hadjar does a Russel on the formation lap… #F1

Excited to see the return of Formula 1 #F1 lets see how it goes with a wet track drying in the first laps

New strings day #matonguitars #elexirstrings

Now catching up with an old friend in Doha

Left this in Copenhagen

My 5 week European travels have so often felt like they were fueled by coffee, it’s appropriate that on the evening before I pack for the last time I post yet another coffee

Stavanger looking particularly beautiful this evening

Have you even been to Doha International Airport unless you have a selfie with one of the bears

Ah, chilling with a coffee in the Doha lounge at 5:30. Time to relax for an hour before part II commences

Here we go again, off for a few weeks in Europe, just my ukulele to keep me company I’m going to miss the lovely warm summer here in Perth and am not looking forward to the cold and dark days

So amazing to see this little guy in the garden just now. Geckos 🦎 are so wonderful creatures

Starting the last day of week 1 as I intend to finish all my work Fridays, coffee and a croissant

Back in the city and celebrating with a bibimbab Korean lunch

Well, my first working day of 2025 has gone OK. My biggest success is that I managed to get the year right every time. Definitely celebrating the small wins this week

Starting 2025 as I finished 2024, with a really good coffee

Back to 6 strings for the New Year. Maton & Elixir make such a beautiful tone #guitar

So, this is Harley, 19 years old and still going

Change of pace for a few days, giving the guitar a rest and the ukulele a bit of air time

And done, goodbye office for 2024, see you in a week for whatever 2025 may bring

Last city coffee of 2024, what a year it’s been.

Yep, summer is definitely here in beautiful Perth, Australia

That time of year again, our favorite “Christmas” movie #discworld #pratchett #Hogfather

And lunch is served 😊

I am so ready for this today, hump day for the last full working week of the year. Nearly there.

Best legroom in economy

I love the attention to detail in the Qantas Singapore lounge, Merlion biscuits with coffee is such a nice touch

Ay yay yay, Franco Colapinto, what were you thinking wiping your car out after you failed to qualify. It’s not like Williams F1 haven’t just spent a fortune making all the parts needed to rebuild your car after teh last race #f1

And my chariot awaits #qantas Heading home

And here we go again, penultimate trip for the year and thankfully only a short few nights over to Launceston. #lifeontheroad

So, I’m hoping this nice shiny new @blueskysocialbr.bsky.social platform turns out to be genuinely welcoming and doesn’t head down the same paths others have followed. As an opening contribution to the cats and dogs, here’s our old girl Pepsi, 11 and going strong
