That's what a road trip around Australia is called, "The Big Lap," and more and more people are doing it. I've not done the "lap" in one single trip, that would take 12-18 months were I to spend the right sort of time to see the good stuff - I'm not into rushing it - and places are different across the seasons so one almost has to go back to each place (some of them) twice or more, I've seen much of the country on many trips though. I'm planning my big lap although it'll not be a one way lap, I'll go this way and that depending on the season and the commitments I have back home and elsewhere although when I do the big lap I'll no longer be working so I should be able to stay away for extended periods of time so with no really timeframe issues it's sure to be pretty awesome.

Open the door to a better future through continual improvement then walk right on through.- Me -You've probably never heard of CI and I'm not sure if AI will give you the right answer if you ask it so I'll use a bit human intelligence and tell you that CI is short for ontinual mprovement which is something that every human on the planet should be seeking...but is not. (Not everyone anyway.)

All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.- Walt Disney -Just in case you haven't worked it out, the weekend is over and the working week is back already. #totallyshit

I've been here for a while now, since June 2017, and have made some really cool connections and can honestly say that without them I'd not be around. They know who they are so I'll not name them and with some I've taken the relationship off the blockchain through phone calls, WhatsApp and with some we've sent things to each other which is pretty cool. I value them all, you too if you're one of those "really cool connections," as part of the attraction of Hive that keeps me here and active.

I've been waiting for this for months now, the day the bonkers arrives and it's almost here. I'm talking about the arrival of my nephew @mrbnkers which is happening very soon and I'll be collecting that "big uncle hug" he's promised me the moment he emerges from the aerobridge at the arrivals gate. Yep, I'm looking forward to it greatly and to spending time with him over the days he's down here to visit.

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.- Virginia Woolf -It's been several years since I started the weekend-engagement topic concept and it's really cool to see see a few people come back every week and join in. If you'd like to get involved with the #weekend-engagement topics as hosted in the WEEKEND EXPERIENCES community then read below, and I hope you all have a great weekend.
