6.3

Hello Everyone, Good morning. (It's morning here in Balikpapan anyway...)

So, I've been watching the news about the earthquake in Italy today. 6.3 - that's pretty big in fact. Can't imagine what it's like to have buildings around me tumbling down. Anyways, just so turns out a friend left last week for some R&R in Rome and other Italian spots. Where are you? Hope you're alright.

Made some serious progress with all the piles on the desk yesterday. And today I'm going to finish it. (I hope) One more day and it should all get done - at least until the next time it comes around again. It always comes around again.

The fighter planes are back in town. Yesterday. With all the noise they can possibly muster. Trust me it's LOUD. Big time. But as a trade off - we do get to have our own private airshow at least. Not sure what they were up to yesterday, but they seemed to be making big circles over town. Around and around and around. And tried as hard as I could - but no way could I get a picture of that. They just go way, way to fast. Fast enough in fact that you don't actually hear them till they're clear out of site.

The other Me - back on the road again this morning and heading out of town. Staying at the Handil Hilton in fact. By now probably knows every bump and curve and chicken on the road in fact. Just hope the Thursday holiday (election) doesn't mess with the plans to get back.

Today: Today is a fortnight lunch day. Not sure where we're going or what we're going to do. Just going to go and wander about. ......... and with any luck (fingers crossed) we'll find ourselves a turkey for our Easter dinner too. (Cross out ham - that's not happening here) No problem, turkey's good too.

Ok, wander time.

Good to Go!
