I really, really miss European holidays.
Not that I've ever done package holidays, or even very well defined holidays, the ability to grab a few days and wander around Europe, or the UK for that matter, is a great thing. So much variety and choice.
Quite jealous of you all.

Well, yeah, I suppose, but, you have access to stunning beaches, mountains, extraordinary scenery etc. No kebabs though in fairness. Not sure I've ever had a kebab, but some speak highly of them. I've seen one of course, didn't majorly appeal. A spring roll supper though, well, now that's something, much to my chagrin, you can't get here. England y'see, they just don't get deep frying...

Spring rolls are excellent here. As it happens I had a plate of them, amongst other things , at lunch time today.

Oh you can get them here, but not generally in chip shops.

...strange occupation that - maybe it explains the purchase of the new camera? I'm assuming that you didn't take that specifically for the forum, but that you're preparing for a coffee-table book named "Kebabs of the World", or some such. (At least you won't have to travel as far as Chile to get a complete set).  |

Sounds like a business opportunity for Otto to me. Santiago's first kebab shop sort of thing. Joking aside, a guy I knew from my Edinburgh days started a baked potato shop in Los Angeles on a wing, a prayer and a very few quid nearly 40 years ago. Last I heard he had a chain of them in California.

Yes indeed, engaging in friendly banter, making his customers feel welcome and valued...

I'm assuming that you didn't take that specifically for the forum, but that you're preparing for a coffee-table book named "Kebabs of the World", or some such. Y’know, that’s not a bad idea. Not kebabs, necessarily, but I do need to do more with the pictures I produce. MrsB1 complains if I print them and put them on walls, so I need a less conspicuous solution that still gets them out of the computer. I’ve occasionally collated a trip’s-worth into one of those CEWE photo books, so maybe I should do that more often. But it is sometimes good to have a theme or an assignment. So maybe I should take on the kebab shop challenge. It would solve the ticklish what-to-give-Otto-for-Christmas problem anyway. As it happens, this one was taken with the old camera. Annoyingly, in the ten seconds between seeing him and getting it out of my coat pocket, Blokey finished carving the elephant and retired to the counter. One that got away. |

Long old drive from Canberra to Brisbane Al! Still, should get steadily warmer as you head north. Canberra can be sub-zero in Winter!
Don't forget to visit the best place in Australia IMHO: Byron Bay! Bit crowded and pricey these days alas...

A bit like Otto, I reminisce for the variety of Europe on my doorstep. Mustn't grumble though.
Off to SWMBO's favourite place in July again for 12 days: Hawaii! Renting a condo in an area of Maui. I tend to get fitter AND fatter..!
