Aaah huh!
Well let’s see….passport means you are travelling out of Australia.
So overseas somewhere.
The tablets indicate going by plane and its a long flight of at least 12-14 hours … maybe one leg of the journey? Perhaps another connecting flight?

Now lemme think. It’s winter here in Oz, so I’m assuming somewhere it’s summer?

My guesses will be in pics.

I like that style of watercolour city scape. Please tell me you painted it, if so Very impressed. If not good taste in art anyway.

Thank you … I do have good taste

These are water colour paints or prints from Etsy.
Here is a link.

I’ve painted but I used oils, acrylic and chalk/pastels.
I had a thing for ballerinas at one stage.
Some need finishing, maybe I can drag the easel out and finish them.
If you want I can post some up in next day or so.…

I have to go out tomorrow to do errands.
Then I have to finish doing these bishop crown chillies. They bloomed very late this year for some reason. And ended up growing long rather than short bell shape.
And they seem hotter than any other time! I had to have doors open and it’s winter time so there’s that.

At least 18 people have died in France, including two children left in a hot car, as a heatwave over Europe has smashed temperature records in several cities.

As schools in France closed or modified timetables on Monday, forecasters in Britain predicted temperatures could break records for June this week.

The temperature in Bordeaux in France's western wine country rose to 41.9 degrees Celsius, breaking a record set last August.

No way TW! It’ll be a killer heat! The heat is different in Europe to here. It’s hotter over there!
But anything over 35 deg anywhere takes the energy right out of me!
In winter we can rug up and keep warm. In hot summers we need air con Grin

Maybe Gordon is going somewhere “Asia”

Another guess would be …..Singapore?
I’ve been a-top of the Marina Bay sands. Singapore is a very nice and clean place.

Are you spending the whole month in UK Gordy?

20 months ago we were in London. We booked a getaway trip for a couple nights with Rabbie’s, a small van/group.
Saw Bath, Stonehenge, Oxley, Windsor Castle, and Cotswold.
Fascinating places. Really loved it.

Stonehenge really took my awe as once we get to the place, it’s like an instant cold weather change!
Then a km away it’s hot and sunny.
We were warned it would be cold at that spot.
Like some weird weather portal.
Why this was built so out of the way in middle of nowhere.

Ah yes, you did the same trip as me.

Did you end up finding that little yarn shop I told you about in Bath?

No I didn’t because we followed a map around township the tour guide gave us, no one else but hubby and I did that and….we got lost. Thank goodness some guy walking his dog helped us out and got us back to where the Roman baths were.
Lucky we had time to look at the Roman baths whew!
I did think about trying to spot a unique wool shop.
Same in Paris wanting to go to that 2 hat Michelin restaurant but no, we ended up not having any French food! A Malaysian restaurant instead!
Where our motel was, too far from the attractions.
But I did manage to try their patisserie and wow…..it was so good!
I managed to score a uni text book for $2 from the local op shops ($100 in 2nd hand book depots) that are no frills and show exactly how to make patisserie….
So if I can replicate that patisserie I had in Paris, I will be in heaven!
