Meet Floyd.

An eight week old bundle of energy and adorable that has just become part of my brother’s family. 🐕

A small pup sitting on green grass looking quizzically at the camera. His body is tan with a white underbelly and paws. His fur is black around his eyes with a line of white going up from his nose separating them.

Heading to Mackay, Queensland, for Mother’s Day and my brother and niece’s birthdays. On an Alliance Fokker 100 as they fly a number of routes on behalf of Virgin Australia now.

Quite a few people barely getting cabin bags in the overhead locker as they’re not as deep as the Boeing that Virgin uses.

Watched the first two episodes of Silo. The set is exceptional and the cast are great. It’s based on a book and I must admit I’m thinking it probably would’ve been much better turned into a movie instead of a ten episode series. 📺

A polar blast delivering a single digit cold snap to most of Eastern Australia is the perfect reason to pull out some fandom winter gear a little earlier than normal.

Tonight, my feet will be kept warm by hand knitted woollen TARDIS socks and my head by a police box beanie.

Blue socks knitted to resemble the TARDIS from Doctor Who. “Police Box” is in white lettering inside a black band near the top and white squares underneath are the windows.A blue beanie resembling the TARDIS from Doctor Who. A black band has “Police Box” “public call” in white capital letters inside. Underneath are white squares in two 3x2 grids representing the windows.

“Imagine losing your rudder out at sea and sending out a distress call. And then the largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship in the world comes to your rescue.”

Next weekend is a trifecta of Mother’s Day, my brothers birthday and my niece’s birthday. Buying presents for mum and my niece qualifies for a free gift.

I wonder if my brother would prefer the hand cream, the scented candle or the big tangle free comb. 🤔😎

🌞 It’s 9:00am and 19°c with a high of 26° forecast. I love Autumn.

🍷 The weekend has arrived. I see a glass of Sangiovese in my near future.

🛫 A night spent planning a holiday is a good night.
