Hello again and so soon. This time I am using my iPhone rather than my mini iPad in the hope that it works better rather than send it to Mars instead of you.
A brief summary of what I wrote three times and at great length to no avail:
Left Sydney represented by the plaque commemorating Joseph Conrad's visit to Australia and his comment about our harbour.
Trip was uneventful no upgrades no interesting personalities to chat with as happened during my last trip four ago. However I watched a beautiful Japanese film titled "Departures" a salutary reminder of the human condition- more about that when and where I finish.
A five hour wait at Heathrow for flight to Paris
Foolish choice for breakfast at Gordon Ramsay's in the airport. Poschedeggscold choice of toast? Brown or white sir? I'll have Turkish thank you. No sir, brown or white? Brown thank you. Overcooked. I irritably suggested to some staff ,next time Gordon visits suggest he spend
more time expanding his variety and quality of produce rather than time expanding his vulgar language.!
Then off to Paris where this photo was taken. What a city. What a rainbow of nationalities and polyglot population. But more of that in my next blog which I will call a view from a Paris Cafe

Ps it seems my desperation blog got through.
