My trip here was the usual horrible slog. It took me 37 hours to get from Albany to my parents house and I didn’t sleep at all. I’m getting too old for this!
I’ve been here a few days now and they’ve been busy! Bernard and Lakshmi we’re here the day I arrived and we had a brief shop and then dinner. To be honest I don’t remember it with great clarity due to the jetlag! But they’re gone now although I’ll reunite with him soon in Tokyo.
On the second day I walked all around the local area doing my annual catch-up. A lot has changed even in one year, especially in the CBD! The past continues to fade…
It was very hot – about 95F – but I was well covered with sunblock and managed to avoid a burn. Still, that heat can be draining so it’s important to keep hydrated:
Yesterday I went and met this chap in an air conditioned club for some card flopping:
It was so much fun we’ll do it again next Sunday 🙂
It’s the last day of 2019 and I’m off to see Aquaman (which everyone assures me is great) before watching fireworks later tonight. Happy New Year!
