Swannie's Random Stuff

If you are in Japan this week... Please say Hi to Hiroko for us... Thank You
And thanks for letting me go on vacation through your pic's !!!
I did say hello to Hiroko. They are all doing well.
Gorgeous pictures, love the land marks and makes me want to take a trip to Israel myself to see them in person. Always love your candid shots of yourself, always such a beautiful temptation.
Well a few pics out of hundreds. I mostly travel for business but get the odd moment here and there to have a bit of fun. Again, pics of me, you get what I am able to take and choose. Sometimes they are in a common theme, although I would then probably put them in the other thread. Mostly random times when I am feeling a bit frisky, then see what might go together.
In the heat of the moment I would probably share a few more, but there is still a size restriction so have to open them on a laptop, resize them, change from heic to jpg, and erase all the location and metadata. I might not be in the same mood as I was earlier by then.
I feel like I have traveled the world thanks to you! Throw in the subtly of clothes or lack of and I am comfortable in the world! Happy Holidays!
I am very comfortable without clothes, so that part of the world will be just fine. I quite like it if people can go on a bit of journey on planes boats trains and landcrusiers with me.
 
You leave down under for a few days and some crazy stuff happens! Hope it was all away from you... sad news though!
Love to see more pics of your trip though!

Not on my side of the country, but fortunately the police put them down. No doubt there are a few more folk out there that need to re-establish the line between cooker and criminal.
I have not yet found a place to stick all my photos up with the necessary privacy guards. Ideas welcome though.

Have you though of your own cloud server. I have one and it is basically a huge hard disk attached to my router. I have control and can allow others to view and add if needed. I limit them to a single sub director. If I set up to ‘read only’ as far as I can tell that is all they can do, they can’t download or copy. I haven’t proved that yet, but for me with those I have set up, it isn’t important.

And I for one thank you! I have travel some but nothing like your adventures.

I have servers and the like for business, cloud based ones as well. I can use DropBox under a dodgy name I guess. We are all adults here playing adult games but I don't need someone having a go for their own amusement. Plenty of download sites I can use but not too many interactive sites. Might be something to study while on the beach these next days. Obviously I ask people to be nice and enjoy in situ, but there is inevitably a way for anyone to screenshot or download something if you are that desperate.
Well I do enjoy all of the location pics you do share as they are usually very beautiful scenes and always worth enjoying. As for your pics of you, appreciate all the work you put into them to share those as well and most of us are just grateful that you share with us at all. So thank you very much you gorgeous lady for sharing what you do with us when you do.
I enjoy it, but with the banter back and forth that goes with it. I'm not a huge fan of the like button, it removes the conversation.
And I for one thank you! I have travel some but nothing like your adventures.
I will admit that I have traveled and seen many things in my time. As many wiser than me have said, see things when you can, you never know when a big roadblock pops up that ruins your plans.

Yep! I raised my kids with that in mind, they have experienced a much larger world and make me proud of what they learned and how they apply in their lives.

I will try to always reply going forward (though I will likely still hit the like button). You knowing I'm always striving to get down under....you. 😘
 
I have been on the road for a week now, doing in person meetings for the first time here in almost 3 years. Israel for some tech meetings first and then onto London for my usual board meetings. Needless to say it has been busy.
I was given the opportunity to get shown around Jerusalem if I arrived a day early, which I took up. It has been decades since I had visited. All day and half the night seeing here and there, a couple of snaps of the main show from each perspective just to keep it even. The markets and other mosques and churches were interesting, as were the castles, but that would become a travelogue showcase in its own right.
Tel Aviv and the beachside is just a northern hemisphere mirror image of where I come from, same climate. Energetic place.
On to London and it is cold. Fortunately heaps of meetings so not too much time to myself to walk around and feel the cold, although my nipples have been glass cutters since I got off the plane at Heathrow. It is an excuse to wear stockings though. I felt a little overdressed being forced to put a thermal on but then there is no need to wear knickers with stockings, so thermal on the top and bare arsed under my dress. I needed more colour so visited a nice little store and picked a few wisps of lace to wear the next days. Netflix at midnight waiting for a couple of zoom calls to Australia is probably not the exciting travel image but I wanted to catch up with a series I had paused on the phone on the plane. I did have a sweater to slip on for the call and didn't forget.
Onwards today.
So many beautiful sights! :D
 
I get that, the like button does remove the banter and that is key to making sure it stays fun and it also shows more of a person's personality when you get that banter. In a way that is why I liked the old format that didn't have the whole Facebook like button with it. Now beyond that I hope you enjoy your time on the beach and have a great time.
I did today. Yesterday was 37C and still 34C at 11pm when we finished walking around the city seeing all the Christmas lights installations, so didn't go, even in the evening. Today was interesting. Two other couples set up near to us and started talking. One from Ireland, one from Singapore, just everyone naked. I suppose that might be odd for some. It's usually the UK folk or the Kiwis that like a chat.
Still a few things to do and a few more presents to buy but it's a hot week.

That's the way. Take a broad appreciation of everyone and challenge your automatic viewpoints.

Chat away, it makes life more interesting.

It's a wide world.

Interesting, too bad we don't get to enjoy their view.. or do we 😉 The UK temperatures aren't too bad either.. from -6 last week to +12 today!! Warm Christmas after the snow you missed

You never know what you are getting next. I just haven't had enough time to sit down and reduce the size on things yet. I can't post photos with others in it without their permission to do so, so you won't get that view.
 
It's been a busy couple of weeks, and a few more ahead. November has been a bit on the cool side in the middle, but is finishing off with a bang and 37C/100F temps.

We hadn't taken the boat out much but seeing as it was back in the water after being lifted and scraped of worms and other fun things that attach themselves, we did a Rottnest run for the day. Quite a few people enjoying the bays on the near side so went amongst them. The friendly neighbourhood dolphin pod decided to wake surf on the way back which is always fun to watch.

We flew to Dubai for a Saturday lunch with his clients. Quite an important one so partners were a requisite. I didn't mind being the plus one for once. It had been a while between Dubai trips and big A380's with showers on board. I woke up early with the time difference and pounced a sleeping him. Inevitably I usually get woken up so rather nice sliding back and forth to "wake" up the half awake.
Unfortunately, the invitation was for the weekend. He and his Saudi people flew up to Doha for a week of soccer and I went home on my own. Not a bad thing as there has been prep for the upcoming travel and meetings to attend. I'll actually be back in Dubai on the way to Tel Aviv (you'd not thought that connection up until a few years ago) then London and a quick trip to Tokyo heading back. Not so quick trip actually as we have to skirt Russian airspace so add another 5 hours..

A couple more beach days before that...
We were in Dubai at the same time.

The Christmas surprise!! Of course.. that's why I said their view.. I find imgur a good way to share pics without having to reduce size.. and I think it removes the metadata.. let me experiment a bit and let you know

Imgur hasn't worked for me in the past. It may be my security settings. I have virtual servers in the EU that I could repurpose if the volume isn't too big. I find I have to reduce the long axis to 1400 pixels and drop the resolution down to get a file 800kb or less. Better than the old 100kb limit but still not remotely close to say 9000x6000 on the phone and not heic. None if it is impossible, but the mood of taking it and the mood of sitting down for a while mucking around and then posting it might take a while to match up.

Fantastic sexy set. Really enjoy your sexy thighs and nipples

You don’t usually have any success reducing my “long axis;” on the contrary. It tends to increase. You might have better luck in the digital realm, though?

:sneaky:
 
Merry Christmas for tomorrow to everyone.

A few things have occurred close to the date so have been absent from my planned xmas pics. I might have to catch up once less preoccupied with this one.

Sandy arse at the beach. The white sand here is so fine that it sticks and can take a bit to get off. As washed off as you get, you still come home and have to take knickers off outside to shake the sand out, or hit the outdoor shower by the pool. Otherwise first time you pull down your pants you put sand all over the bathroom floor.

I do have some one piece bathers. Now and again I have to wear them at more conservative places. A bit of rarity really.

Amongst the Christmas light trail all over town there is the sand castles display. Very summer. It was about 34C still at 9pm that night.

There are always kids coming up with innovative water fun. Barrel rafts, a picnic table, beer coolers, and a small outboard. They had obviously come across the river to visit the pub on the south east bank. Love a bit of well thought out youth fun.

I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow and will be back shortly. Rise and Shine

Merry Christmas to you as well!! I have always known what I want from Santa for the last few years.. seeing that arse again confirms that again!
Sounds like a fun Christmas!! It isn't that cold in London this year but I should plan to haul my arse across to the other hemi to truly enjoy a summer Christmas!

Love the idea of the bar raft, clever kids.

I don’t know if they are still built, but there was a few town beaches on the south coast and in Jersey, where sand sculptures were built over summer months. Some were very complex and took months of work. Haven’t visited for years.

Those sand castles are very impressive. Your arse is equally impressive

Love the dressed/undressed contrast.
Happy to help you with cleaning off any excess sand.
Very cool sand castles. I can't imagine how long they took to make.
I want one of those floating picnic tables!
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Thanks for being you.
