Jamie and Nera are in Hobart this weekend so we are baby-sitting Archie. It's a regular thing and he seems to cope with it very well. He has routines and favourite toys and sometimes it seems the whole household marches to his drum. I suppose any dog-owner might say the same.
The day started off sunny but the sky has clouded over and we might get rain. We have no plans to do anything. I can't help wondering what our lives might have been like if we had lived our lives in another environment. I can't help comparing our lives with that of Steve Marsh whom we follow on Youtube.
Here is what we saw on his video this morning: he woke up on a particular morning in Montrose in Scotland where he lives. He decided on a whim that he might go somewhere so he walks to the railway station, catches a train to Edinburgh and on to the airport where he takes a cheap flight to Copenhagen. He arrives there early enough to take another train to Malmo in Sweden, crossing the famous Oresund Bridge on the way. It's Spring in Europe and the weather is delightful.
A comfortable night in a reasonably priced hotel caps off a great day in which he has managed to visit two foreign countries.
I suppose if we lived near Sydney or Melbourne we could have a similar experience if we flew to Auckland, but I can't imagine it would be as exciting There certainly is a price to pay because we chose to live in Australia.
