Two Dawns in the One Day

Featured Image: Dawn is peeking through my window on the plane. The above 2 images are my nighttime photos from my seat.

It’s now officially 24 hours since I woke up on Wednesday at 5.10 am, to begin my journey of travelling half way around the world. Wow … and still 6 hours travel time to go before I get to my cousins place on Vancouver Island
The buttocks are starting to really ache.
But not to worry, here I am writing words on my website.
Today’s trip has steadfastly confirmed that I do not sleep well on planes

However, how things have changed since my last international flight 6 years ago. I have inflight WiFi and I think the food is betterer,or is it because this time I am flying with Air New Zealand. And damn, the guy sitting next to me has just slept 6 hours straight.

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  1. The butt is numb, eh? You need to walk around when you can. At least the guy next to you gave you some peace instead of yapping your ear off! I haven’t flown in a very long time and don’t miss it one little bit. It’s amazing how every seat back has a screen lit up! Counting down the hours, dear Ivor. It won’t be much longer now. 😎✈️🌅🍱🌊🇨🇦💛
