Von, just realised I said Amsterdam to west coast USA when in fact it was Amsterdam to Vancouver.

We caught the Starlight Express from Seattle to just outside of San Francisco.

Gawd, I is getting old! :-D :-0 :-S

Afternoon everyone :-) <3

Not a bad day here, still dry and mild.

I've been out for lunch with friends, so we had a good chat :-D

Maddie, Sorry to hear that you had a worrying health scare, but pleased to know you have now been reassured <3

Von
Your visit to Japan and the journey to and from all sound so interesting.
I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Trying to clear some of the recordings, so that I've got room to record more, for when I might fall asleep watching ;-)

Oh, beggar, Von. It was a wonderful sight so it was good you saw it flying from Finland.

We flew that way via Amsterdam to USA west coast but flew back a different route.

I always found it easy, sleepwise, to fly from Oz via the Middle East but the one time I slept for hours on arrival in the UK was the only time we flew anticlockwise via Hawaii, Los Angeles and Houston (where Customs called us out and let us board the plane first - there was a reason and police with guns drawn were involved!). I was what was known as ..... (politely) dog tired!

Belle we flew past North Korea but you could see it on the map ;-)

Joy that was the disappointing thing as you couldn’t see anything :-0 :-0 ;-)

I have been to the Artic circle before from Finland and that was magical. :-D :-D

Maddie you poor thing. What a worry. I remember going through similar and I hugged

the Dr when she told me it was ok. <3 <3 <3

Afternoon Everyone :-D <3 <3

How lovely Von, pleased you enjoyed your break <3

Well I had a bit of a hiccup. You may remember I was sent to the Emergency Day Care and had all sorts of tests and an Xray, ECG and Scan. Unfortunately, I did not say at the time, the scan showed up a 3cm lesion in chest. So at the start of the week I was sent to the MacMillan Centre to find out what was what.

I did tell them what I thought/knew it was, but nevertheless I had to have a mammogram and an ultra sound. I was told years ago it was a cyst, and if it caused no trouble then ignore it. The ultra sound located it, and apparently it can shed cells that showed up on the scan. So I had a needle inserted and drew off the liquid. If it was one colour it was harmless, another colour and it may not. Thankfully it looked like mud and that was okay. I dont know who was more relieved me or Beloved. He dried my eyes and we went home, battered and bruised. :-0 :-0

Anyway onwards and upwards :-D :-D

Von, were you allowed to fly over North Korea or did you have to bypass it :-0

Von

Von Report 6 Nov 2025 11:32

Belle it is a long flight but we flew out one way and came back another because of the war.

Going out was really interesting as the weather was clear and you could see the mountain ranges in Kazakhstan etc. We flew over Beijing and South Korea then onto Japan.

Coming home was very boring, long dark and cold as we flew over the Artic and down over Scotland ;-) ;-)

Joy we had a lovely time thank you. <3
