That’s because they don’t have daylight savings.

 

Never have to adjust to real time.

 

Yes Adrian, my mother lived on the Goldy for 25 yrs, brother and sister up there, they get up at 6am, dinner at 5pm and in blanket bay  by 9pm, must be the heat.  They even put their 🍷in the freezer before serving. Strange people up there. Sure in summer i. Put my red wine in the fridge for half hour but no freezer treatment.

You Queenslanders have tea early, we call it dinner down here, lol, what you cooking chef?

Tonight’s Thursday,  so it’s oven cooked, enrapped Barramundi, roasted kumara and petite pois.   Accompanied with a delicate earl grey tea.

  All of course served on the finest royal doulton china.

Later we will retire to the upstairs and partake of a nice Cotswolds gin and watch the last episode of the Salisbury poisonings program.

Yes we have tea early.  I always thought it was because all my family were originally farmers, worked by the sun, so early to bed, early to rise.  I wondered if it came from Scottish high tea. Dinner was main meal on Sunday lunchtime.

Scottish high tea was probably 4.30pm. When my mother moved from Sydney to gold coast about 1980 after my father died, her tea or dinner time moved from 6.30pm to 5pm. My sister at Currumbin has dinner at 5pm, too early, I like 6.30pm. 5pm is happy hour.

We only put a bottle of wine in the freezer if we need to cool it quickly. However, it might cool faster if we put it in a bucket of iced water.

A bucket of ice, cold water and salt.

 

Then twirl it around.For a while.

 

Something about physics I was told by my engineer brother. Cools it much quicker.

Avignon?

 

Correct, Adrian.

 

An unusual view of the bridge. I can't recall where I took that photo from, probably while just rambling around, possibly from a vantage point in the Palais des Papes.
