Embussed. Next stop, Athens. #GhostOnTour

Post-storm, late afternoon #cloud forms. #GhostOnTour

Nothing like being stabbed in the armpit by a rogue, loose bra underwire. #ouch

Hermes, the Wonder Dog. #GhostOnTour

I think so.

Put out your #Valvoline, you know what I mean. #RIP #JohnLaws

I’m explaining to Hermes the Wonder Dog that, having helped me eat my toast, there is now no more toast. #GhostOnTour

I was going to make a pussy joke about 45&7’s invitation to #MtAthos, then I remembered the shady real estate deals at on of the big monasteries. And we all know who like shady real estate deals. Don’t we?

It’s very much past the end of the sailing season. #GhostOnTour

A small calico cat curls up in freshly planted lavender beds, in the sunshine by the busy boulevard, oblivious to the security cameras everywhere. #GhostOnTour

Crossing the bridge at Rio-Antirio. #GhostOnTour

Walking around looking like one of the locals, I’ve had to play my first “I’m sorry, I had no idea where that is, I’m from Australia” card. #GhostOnTour

No one wants urinal cake flavoured gravy. Or do they?

Currently in Athens, and about to roam about the countryside

That thing, when you take stock after a long haul flight in sardine class and count the random bruises, scratches and broken nails that you just can’t explain. #GhostOnTour

Password to Louvre's video system was 'Louvre' at time of robbery: Employee According to an employee with knowledge of the system, the password to the Louvre's video surveillance system was simply "Louvre" at the time of the robbery last month.

US ABC reporting Louvre security password was “Louvre”. Huge if true. They’d have been better off using the Mona Lisa’s birthday.

ouch!

Arrived Athens, the self-service gates are shut. There is a carousel of sometimes tow, sometimes three blokes on seeming 15 - min shifts stamping passports. Things never change!

The view from the cheap seats. #GhostOnTour

I suffered the indignity, going through security theatre, of needing to be rescanned after removing the belt from my baggy pants.

That thing where you’re in a bag drop queue with one gate agent and ALL of cattle class has been queuing for over had an hour.

Is that duck still quacking? There’s pink, and there’s blood red. #MKR

Q: does anyone actually bid when an airline offers a “bid for upgrade” program? And have they been successful with a bid that’s less than the cost of buying a business class seat?

Dear people, a public train is no place to give and/or take a job interview. For the love of all things, find a quiet spot and arrange a time to ring back.
