Day 230, 18 Aug 2017: Just passing through...

Day 230: ...for I am off for a while

And, back in the office. With a view of the port. Which I've missed for the last week. Really.

Today was mostly a tidy-up, finish-off, prepare for take-off kind of day for Sunday I fly home to Brisbane for a holiday of sorts. There will be some work-related things too but mostly I plan to just sit around the Gold Coast with my mum, for a couple of weeks. Maybe do some reading (oh, and there is the guest lecture, research meeting with colleagues, dinner, lunch, chocolate with other friends, shopping for all those necessities it is hard to find in Tokyo, museum and gallery visits, beach, photos, shopping...etc). 

So it was nice that the port turned on one of its more exciting afternoons. The rain hasn't completely gone away, in fact there is much lamenting and gnashing of teeth on the weather reports at the moment--record days of rain etc. 

And so it came to pass...


A shower cometh

Clouds wheeling in

Bridge : gone

Passing through

Multi-layering clouds


...a shower, literally passed over the port. There one minute, gone, within four. 

See you in a couple of weeks.
