We had a wet start to our journey yesterday, the prop plane from Launnie was in cloud most of the time. After an hour in the Qantas lounge the next leg to Perth had an unusual East to West wind, significantly cutting flight time.

Our cottage at St Louis is so convenient when visiting Kiora, which itself is close to shops at Claremont Quarter, and hospitals which Dad is unfortunately currently working his way through.

Today was spent completing a little list of jobs for Mum, saying hi to Dad, and purchasing a new sports jacket…..I seem to have forgotten mine despite being carefully placed near the suitcase so I wouldn’t forget. I also tried to repair a suitcase that the Qantas baggage handlers had rearranged so that its handle couldn’t be extended. Unpacking and dismantling revealed it had received a blow sufficient to put a buckle in the tubing. Some gentle persuasion and a hammer has fixed it enough to be used. A family dinner finished a profitable day, hopefully Dad can join us next time ❤️

Tomorrow will be a long day…some 22 hours flying via Singapore. The next post hopefully will be in the UK…

With some gentle rocking Prime Thyme’s interior can be very inviting after a long flight.
