The first thing I learnt at Vancouver Airport was that Yellowknife is one word, rather than two. Later on, I learnt from a local guide that the knife part is pronounced knave. Su noticed that the pilot of this Canadian Express Flight AC8833 she booked for us was a youngish blonde, who started the twin…
Jim was not well the night before we were to meet. Joan called in the morning just as we were suiting up for a quick run so as to be back in time to meet them, implying that we had a free day. But as we were almost ready for a run, we went ahead…
I have lived with this laptop for over ten years by now – Lenovo S10e was a gadget to be reckoned with in 2009 when Su’s sister acquired for me before we took off for our first of a series of honeymoon trips. Well, ten years was not exactly a short period, and as a…

Whereas rioters created nuisance, obstructed roads and traffic and created chaos and destruction wherever they…
I left off last time talking about going to Maldives; and that was about two weeks ago. The following day, Su did make some enquires, ending with making a booking for an extended stay of eight days in the resort area in the middle of the sea towards the end of November; and that was…
I haven’t gone very far after my New Year Day upload, as far as keeping up with my writing is concerned. I found out a few typos which I had since amended, but I wonder who noticed them. We have been eating well and eating out a lot; and to my horror, but not surprising…
I left off in my 2019 Year Ender mentioning Su not having had her luggage delivered in the flight from Oslo to TromsØ and sort of suggested I might come back to it. So here I am. We landed just before 2 pm, shadowing the full moon as the small jet taxied in. It was…
