Up nice a early and off to meet up with the Marks clan in rainy Perth.
In the Quantas lounge and have a solid Wifi connection. You CANNOT believe how weird it is not knowing what's going on out there. Wifi is gooooood.
Flight spent in and out of consciousness, only near 6 hours so a hop and a jump.
Now Quantas domestic have an interesting entertainment system, Ipads in every seat.... which stream their programs after take off. Wasn't impressed with the movie selection, would have meant thinking or re-watching what I'd already seen, so nearly ended up with the UK top gear James Bond special... I chose sleep...... well in an out of conciousness.
Perth arrived and Gazza and Lynn were there to meet me, my hosts for the next two nights.
Garry I used to work with at Innovations about 20 years ago, Lyndows was also there and much fun was had whilst all joints worked. The guys emigrated to Aus approx 8 years ago and we've seen them a couple of times since, but not in their own home town.
So back to chez Markses and with an extra 2 hours to the day and a Potjie (Poickie) (a stew type concoction cocked in a cauldron)(by Gary also)(and it was pretty good) and several beers, and good company and lack of sleep, I was ready for bed at 9.... thank fully saved the embarrassment when Damien one of their neighbours popped in and kept the flow going to around the witching hour.
Ready for the cultural tour tomorrow.
