Queenceañera…

“Why is everyone wearing red dresses?”

“Because it’s red dress day!”

Fair enough 

I spoke to the organisers. 

“We started it 8 years ago. Queenceañera. It isn’t for anything. It’s just gay men having fun on the Castro. For shits and giggles.” 🏳️‍🌈💃

Trevor…

Great to spend the day with Trevor watching the footie, catching up on old times. Remembering people we had loved and lost. And having a right old laugh too!

Dallas : England 4 - 2 Croatia…

Darce & I were lucky enough to find ourselves in Dallas Stadium’s Trophy+ hospitality lounge to watch mighty England take on Croatia. 


Booze, food, & front-row seats. It couldn’t have been better. 


And our boys in white did us proud. 


England attacked like team in hurry. Kane scored twice, Bellingham surged through midfield with purpose, & Rashford applied late polish. Croatia kept asking awkward questions but England had all right answers by end.

Seattle: Boeing Future of Flight ✈️

Yesterday Darce and I took a trip north of Seattle to visit Boeing and take a tour of the factory, marvel at the airplanes, and visit the museum. 


It was great fun and perfect for a massive plane enthusiast like Darce.


We saw Boeing’s latest aircraft, the Boeing 777X series, rolling (albeit slowly!) off the production line.


Its distinctive folding wingtips allow the aircraft to use standard-sized airport gates despite its massive 235-foot wingspan. It’s the first time hinged wingtips have been integrated into a commercial airliner certified for service.


A great place to visit.
