Ok, nothing so posh as Caffe Nero or Gails, but I did some baking this weekend. They taste so darn good! Chocolate chip with pecans.

I know my BSK friends in Eur/UK and points further south are still enjoying late summerish weather. Here in this part of N. Am. autumn is well underway. For me it's a sweet spot, summery daytime warmth still, but beautiful fall scenery around and crisp nighttime air. #autumn #nature #Canada

All assembled, throw fresh basil in. This needs to low simmer for another hour or so. Spaghetti will soon follow, but first, it's #wineoclock.

Starting by sauteing the alliums and celery and shrooms.

Well, I guess it's slow-cook Sunday, so here's what I'm up to. A basic spag-bol. Fresh ingredients of course! Loving seeing everyone else's tasty dishes, thank you BlueSky-ers. #SlowCookSunday

Pretty in pink, but a disappearing brand. This will soon be repainted into WestJet mainline colours. Fortunately, WS has finished interior retrofits across the entire Swoop and Sunwing acquisitions.

A bit of retro. The old Horizon Air retro scheme on Alaska's Embraer #avgeek

Missed my connection flight at LAX last night, had to overnight and catch the 6am flt this morning. Went to the hotel's shop to get something grab'n'go. What you see is two yogurt parfaits with two protein bars. $46.00 USD. Utterly gobsmacked.

It's been a while #avgeeks since I was on board an A380, today's my lucky day. Upper deck biz on BA269 LHR LAX!

This is our Sunday pre-dinner (homemade spag-bol) #wineoclock put in the garden. As always, there's the 7 hour lag, but the wine still tastes as good! Happy Sunday!

Den Haag scenes on a wonderful warm summer day. Had an absolutely stellar week in DH, great city @denhaagcentraal.bsky.social #Netherlands

Everyone loves a classy wingtip. And that classic old AF logo! This was AF1241 AMS CDG 30Jul. Gotta say, they were such a sweet and helpful crew.

Was going to say.. past #wineoclock, but in a much closer timezone today. Chin chin.

@anthonyisaacs.bsky.social Took your pic this afternoon, very long distance of course. That's Norwich juuuuuust beyond the horizon of the sea, taken from the other shore. In den Haag currently. Hope all is good with you lads.

Fly Guy YYC @flyguyyyc.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

You lads clearly ARE influencers. Enjoying our second Aperol spritzer this month. Kinda enjoy them. Campari next on the list. Made it to the Netherlands just as you left for Malta! Sitting at the beach in Scheveningen (say that 3 times fast...)

The old worhorse taking me to London from Vancouver. G-VIIP. This is how a 27 year old 777-200 looks. Apparently, the old original seating, not yet gone through cabin refurbishment. #avgeeks

And incredible orangey Sunrise sneaking up behind CYYC. Waited two hours in the aircraft for a fix to an electronics issue, missed my cnx flight at YVR 🤨 #Calgary #sunrise

Early morning ramp at CYYC. A disappearing brand. #avgeek #aviation #calgary

Picture taken from inside an airplane show the two orange tailed aircraft parked beside.
The sun hasn't risen yet, it's a soft pastel blue and pink sky, and dreadfully early!

Let's get closer to those mountains...

The Stampede city in full swing, but those Rocky Mountains on the western edge are stunning and majestic. #Calgary #stampede #mountains

A lovely last walk early this morning in Rome. Sun rising over Castel Sant'Angelo. Trains canceled between Roma Termini and Fiumicino, so a last minute panic to get one of the fewer and fewer taxis as the mobs realize there's no more apt train service.

Fly Guy YYC @flyguyyyc.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Ongoing Roman adventure. Close ups of Trajan's column, where Trajan detailed 2000 years agowhat wonderful achievements he made in the Roman world. The third pic shows the exact spot (lone tree left of center) where Julius Caesar was done in on the Ides of March. Last is losing my Aperol virginity.

An Italian reflecting pool. Still no dead ducklings.

Fly Guy YYC @flyguyyyc.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Not Rotterdam, it's Rome, but thought you shd know you've broken in this Aperol virgin (and 1st time in Rome). I know how much you enjoy them, thought I'd give it a try. Nice, prosecco aperol spritz. The heat on the other hand, dying under this heat dome and the humidity. I blame you of course.

Spotted this reflecting pool in rural Spain today, but the ducklings were **thriving**!!

So wonderful to finally meet @ip2guy.bsky.social in person!! I have to say, our Terry knows the BEST coffee/cake places here in London, had a lovely visit and enjoyed a beautiful english scone/cream/jam. Hoping we can visit again soon Terry, 💋 #blueskymeets #meeting

Completed Section 9 of Lindon's Capital Ring today. Incredible variety along the way, Harrow's hill was a pleasant surprise, saw Churchills boy hood school. So impressed with the Ring's signage, hard to get lost despite passage through hidden forested paths. #London #walking

Sorry for the last post. Celebrated WOC right on time and even in the same time zone. Enjoying the perfect summer weather with WOC on the river Wye. What a beautiful day it was, capped off another day of touring Roman history with the *perfect* pear cider on a riverbank #wineoclock

The amazing hike along the ever more amazing Hadrian's wall. Roman civilization and history was utterly fascinating. #history #roman #britain

No rainbows here. Been pissing down incessantly, until an hour ago. This place beckoned now that the rain has stopped! Pretty sure you'll have passed by here once or twice in the past.

The tulips are NOT happy today.... A "springtime" day in Calgary. It's bloody May 16 already!!!! #weather #spring

A parking lot full of cars covered in heavy sticky snow, above is a whitish gray sky filled with fat chunky falling snowflakes, in the month of May in Calgary!

Cacti blooms are almost always spectacular. This is my Peruvian apple cactus. The blooms fade and leave a small pod that grows into an edible fruit, euphemistically called an "apple". #Flowers #cactus #desert #botany

Happy to say that we are rapidly transitioning here from this, four days ago. Tomorrow, warm sun and 21c, so a pint on a patio is in order. We have such freaky weather here:

Fly Guy YYC @flyguyyyc.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

Hmm. Is that a new pergola overhead? Very envious of your t-shirt weather, grrrr! It's now our wine o'clock (7 hours behind and all that), and yes, that is SNOW, which has been falling the last three miserable days! So no tshirty weather here whimper winge.

Winter was absent in Jan and Feb, but returned with a vengeance in April. This is our version of Sunday in the garden... 🥶

You recognize this place? Nice and hot today🥵

Fly Guy YYC @flyguyyyc.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

Haven't seen you in a while! Happy Easter 🐣 to you and J. And a belated happy wine o'clock. Yes. That IS freshly fallen snow, harumph!

Fly Guy YYC @flyguyyyc.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

For now, just a hot cuppa coffee and a donut, but it's only just past lunch here. This is predictable however... our wine o'clock shall occur in a few more hours. Cheers A!

I'll match your E175 - let's start a theme. However, I didn't get the registration. This is the hard underbelly of a Skywest (for Alaska) PAE to PSP Palm Springs intl apt.
