And some of them in Spanish!

Pay no attention to that regular bloke, just figuring out how to do his own thing.

That one night in Mount Isa in 2017 when I had front row (photographer) and was blown absolutely away by @tashsultanaofficial. Life was about to change and maybe this was that amazing moment in a limbo. She was sick that night, if I remember right, and she played anyway. I was in awe. I hadn’t seen anyone like her perform before.

Cute chalk drawings make my day.

One year ago I was in the Santiago airport, ready to go back to Australia 🇦🇺 after 18 months living in 🇵🇪 I longed for wheetbix, chicken parmigiana, a good steak and Bundaberg ginger beer. Now I cannot wait to return for chicha Morada, a real Lomo Saltado , an Inca Cola and a piece of Tres Leche . Oh and some ceviche! Donde Vendaran Buen Trago will of course be playing in the background because that song pervades everywhere.

Monday, working from home, after an election weekend. My instant coffee. Let’s get back into it. We have new councillors to track down (at a mandated social distance).

Sunday morning coffee and a paper. Some interesting stuff today in our @couriermail . On p15 #paulinehanson is calling for pollies to take a pay cut. The article by Renee Viellaris notes that our politicians have gone underground on this one. Then there’s a week’s journal entry of a university laboratory manager on the hunt for a vaccine. I don’t understand half of what she is saying, but I do feel for the long hours, the isolating and the disconnection from family and her partner as her wedding closes in.

Trabajar en la casa.

An incredible connection really, to be able to watch Peruvian politics live from Australia using youtube and #tvperu

Our three mayoral candidates.

While sad about the cancelled South American trip...I have food, a wonderful rental, a TV, and access to streaming services. And beer. There is beer.

Bye Mum, the house was empty without you this weekend. See you here in another eight years

Three weeks until I fly to The Perú 🇵🇪 I have decided to be positive and assume that despite everything, it will still happen until proven otherwise. I planned on this 💰 pay cheque to buy a really good backpackers bag from the army disposal camping store. So I decided to buy it anyway AND help a local business. I have the biggest smile on my face because they had a 25 per cent discount on outdoor goods, which had been on offer all week, on top of another discount on the bag. I paid 170 for a bag originally $290. I will need this bag one day, anyway, no matter what.

Soy Shaggy 🤭😐

Went to the #monreposturtlecentre last night. Not a real turtle. This is just a tribute.

Better out than in
