Maria, Comrade Ghost

Scribbles away in a garret overlooking the Illawarra Railway. Edits ESIA reports. Spends much time on trains. Pines for the Round Pond. Lives in interesting* times. Looks on in horror as the world turns to custard. Walk with me.
This is why I like wandering around Central London. #GhostOnTour #FootsoreGhost

Last time I visited here, these trees were wearing enough clothes to conceal the rotunda. #GhostOnTour

The #swan spa, at the Round Pond. Note someone still growing into their adult feathers. #GhostOnTour

Observation: There’s enough Greek spoken in Central London today that I may as well be back in Athens. #GhostOnTour

I thought I was cream crackers until i walked into Kensington Gardens and saw a bloke, on a bike, feeding a murder of crows, or perhaps an unkindness of ravens, out of a tupperware container. #GhostOnTour

Today in #GhostOnTour, I’ve realised that I haven’t seen my jar of Vegemite since Monday.

Nice to be back in London, even if someone’s left the fridge door open. #ColdGhost #GhostOnTour

Holy contrails Batman, another plane has just zoomed past us, at a lower altitude! #GhostOnTour

Very much enjoying BA’s group boarding discipline. So far, 10 passengers have been told to wait their turn. #GhostOnTour

That thing, where it’s gone 21:30, you last ate at breakfast, you bumped into a gypsy who told you you were cursed as a small child, your aunt gave you a kick up the bum about your life choices, and your travel agent forgot to book a checked bag on tomorrow’s flight to LHR. #GhostOnTour

Time to wait for the bus out of #Delphi. Sanctuary pics on the big camera, and will be posted soon. #GhostOnTour

PSA: in Greece, the red powerade is a foul tang-adjacent blood orange flavour, not the anodyne, refreshing berry blast. #GhostOnTour

I have reached the coffee bar at the archaeological museum, and all I can say is that ancient pilgrims also were prey to highway robbery refreshment prices. #GhostOnTour

Three cheers for comfort stops on longish bus trips. #GhostOnTour

Embussed. Next stop Delphi to consult the Shade of the Pythia. #GhostOnTour

That’s twice in as many days I’ve been “blessed” by a pigeon. #grumble #GhostOnTour

Today in #SurrealAthens, the city centre is crawling with Volodymyr Zelenskyy look-alikes and a squadron of kilt-clad Scottish football fans in town for a big match, having skirt-offs with ceremonial guards. #GhostOnTour

The prosciutto cotto on this pinsa thing I’ve been served is spam adjacent cured animal protein. I’m not happy, and I’m just waiting for a grumpier Italian to set them right. #GhostOnTour

I have received a blessing from a pigeon. #GhostOnTour

Embussed. Sitting backwards. On a mystery ride (it’s Sunday timetable, I hopped on the first bus going anywhere) and am sat opposite a fellow crossing himself every 5 seconds. Do I really look that bad? #GhostOnTour

This evening, at #GhostOnTour, it’s time to fire up the washing machine!

November, and still beach weather, sometimes. #GhostOnTour
