This aint Kansas, Dorothy

Standing waiting for a man to show

Wide-eyed, one eye fixed on the door

This waiting is killing meIt's wearing me downDay in, day outMy feet are burning holes in the ground

Darkness warmer than a bedroom floor

Want someone to hold me close forever moreI'm a sleeping dog, but you can't tell

When I'm on the prowl, you better run like hell

You know it makes sense, don't even think about it

Result of a bird strike - the bird was stationary.

Life and death are things you just do when you're bored

The flight was the last one the pilot did before he retired.

Say fear is a man's best friendSay fear is a man's best friendSay fear is a man's best friendYou add it up, it brings you downYou add it up, it brings you down

Home is living like a man on the run

Trails leading nowhere, where to, my son?

We're already dead, but not yet in the groundCome on, shake my helping hand

I'll show you around

You know it makes sense, don't even think about it

Life and death are things you just do when you're bored

Say fear is a man's best friend

Stunning views of Perth City ..

The bed is an appalling structure, bolted to the wall @ 1metre. Inner spring mattress and conventional truss and slat design. Would like something more elegant in terms of padding and more ergonomic in terms of space. Either it folds up @90 against the back wall or gets lifted straight up to the ceiling. The space underneath is reclaimed as living space and the structure of the bed base becomes ; speaker cabinet , VDU, electronic test equipment etc as appropriate to it's positioning. i.e. overhead or perpendicular against the back wall.

View from Bed.

Sink and Roadside (Starboard) Door.

Top Unit of two stacked Engels in front of the wall separating off the shower compartment.

Aft Head level section of the workbench.

Turn your head 45 Degrees forward to get this view.

The R&D Pi on the bench - look down.

The R&D Pi Entire rig on the bench - look down and 45 degrees forward.

Standing in the Galley looking Aft. The large screen HDMI TV (Monitor) is bolted to the panel affixed behind the bread maker.

The view from the sink looking to the curbside (Port) .

A crisp skinned huwhite loaf freshly beeping and emerging.

The view from the Work bench, at head height, over the HDMI Monitor. You are seeing a Laptop (Lenovo) that is running the network. The Car "Radio" that drives the Audio system - mostly Bluetooth. And a few Dinosaurs.
