Much thanks! :)
Looking at my reply again.
"Howdy" with a trailing "y" --- how hard can it be?
And Greetings from "upabove" was the word that came to me only hours later. Which proves that I should not try to make conversation with strangers after my brain has entered power save state. Sigh.
~bartender? Something Aussie like to drink? Thanks. Oh the nostalgia. And whatever ~fiolajane fancies, it's on me.
That being said, I had the privilege to travel Australia twice, in 1986 and again some time after 1998. A truely fascinating place. Staying at my old school mates place in Perth,WA is so hiddeously "remote" --- as seen from my everyday European perspective --- its a pleasure. It is just not important, whether the Queen, Boris Johnson, the Pope or Monsieur Macron said something or not. This feeling of "its irrelevant" was especially prominent, after I returned from a trip to Pilbarra, camping out and staring at the sky. Ah, and I can recommend to sit near Esperance on the beach and stare on the dark blue ocean for an extended while. Yes, I have seen nice places, I will not complain, should I drop off this lovely planet with short or no notice.
Cheers!
