On the western edge of the world, as defined by the International Date Line, it’s Sunday afternoon. I’m sitting at 39,993ft above the Pacific Ocean, according to the screen in front of me, just under two hours out from Honolulu. From there I’ll have one more leg to fly before two days of travel will see be back home in Maui. Though right now I am feeling conflicted by that word ’home’.
This cauliflower came drizzled in a grainy mustard sauce along with lime and cilantro, giving a light spicey taste. Overall, it was delicious. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 7)

Breathing in I clam my body, Breathing out I smile.

I love the art work of Polish artist Mateusz Urbanowicz. He lives in Tokyo and paints beautifully intricate scenes of around Japan. For my birthday last month I was given copies of his books, Tokyo at Night & Tokyo Storefronts. I can spend an age looking at the details in his work.
Finished reading: Walkabout by James Vance Marshall. I saw the movie many years ago, but never read the book until I found a copy on my parent’s bookshelves. 📚
Well I was wondering where the rain was. This afternoon it has decided to show itself! 🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧
I’ve been searching online this morning to see if it possible to remotely access an iPad from a MacBook Air. “Other side of the world” remotely. I am tech support for my mother. I have found a few possibilities, Zoho Assist, Splashtop SOS & Teamviewer QuickSupport, but costs probably don’t warrant the use that I would make of the software.
I’m now trying to figure out a “Plan B.”
With the death of my father still close and real for me, I appreciated this beautiful article by Matthew Syed in today’s Sunday Times.
The death of my father has taught me the real meaning of gratitude
There was a beautiful Harvest Moon over Bristol last night, rising as an orange orb in the early evening. The attached photo, taken with my iPhone 7 Plus, in no way does it justice.
