I know my BSK friends in Eur/UK and points further south are still enjoying late summerish weather. Here in this part of N. Am. autumn is well underway. For me it's a sweet spot, summery daytime warmth still, but beautiful fall scenery around and crisp nighttime air.

Well, I guess it's slow-cook Sunday, so here's what I'm up to. A basic spag-bol. Fresh ingredients of course!

Loving seeing everyone else's tasty dishes, thank you BlueSky-ers.

Pretty in pink, but a disappearing brand. This will soon be repainted into WestJet mainline colours.
Fortunately, WS has finished interior retrofits across the entire Swoop and Sunwing acquisitions.

A bit of retro. The old Horizon Air retro scheme on Alaska's Embraer

Missed my connection flight at LAX last night, had to overnight and catch the 6am flt this morning. Went to the hotel's shop to get something grab'n'go.

What you see is two yogurt parfaits with two protein bars.

$46.00 USD. Utterly gobsmacked.

It's been a while #avgeeks since I was on board an A380, today's my lucky day. Upper deck biz on BA269 LHR LAX!

Everyone loves a classy wingtip. And that classic old AF logo!

This was AF1241 AMS CDG 30Jul.

Gotta say, they were such a sweet and helpful crew.

Took your pic this afternoon, very long distance of course. That's Norwich juuuuuust beyond the horizon of the sea, taken from the other shore. In den Haag currently.

Hope all is good with you lads.

The old worhorse taking me to London from Vancouver.
G-VIIP. This is how a 27 year old 777-200 looks.
Apparently, the old original seating, not yet gone through cabin refurbishment.

The Stampede city in full swing, but those Rocky Mountains on the western edge are stunning and majestic.

A lovely last walk early this morning in Rome. Sun rising over Castel Sant'Angelo. Trains canceled between Roma Termini and Fiumicino, so a last minute panic to get one of the fewer and fewer taxis as the mobs realize there's no more apt train service.

Ongoing Roman adventure.
Close ups of Trajan's column, where Trajan detailed 2000 years agowhat wonderful achievements he made in the Roman world.
The third pic shows the exact spot (lone tree left of center) where Julius Caesar was done in on the Ides of March.
Last is losing my Aperol virginity.

Completed Section 9 of Lindon's Capital Ring today. Incredible variety along the way, Harrow's hill was a pleasant surprise, saw Churchills boy hood school.
So impressed with the Ring's signage, hard to get lost despite passage through hidden forested paths.

The amazing hike along the ever more amazing Hadrian's wall. Roman civilization and history was utterly fascinating.
