@jon To be fair, not much happens at any of Croatia's stations. ;)

@vandyke4ad @jon That's a disappointing train too, modern but far too small and uncomfortable for such a long ride.

Why yes, I am enjoying an alarmingly pink drink at a lakeside bar in Montreux. How's your day going?

Oh that's surprising, Was expecting something sugary but it's bitter like Campari. Rather good. Refreshing.

folk: some friends and I are aiming to try European cuisines we haven’t had before. What are some good places serving European food types less common in Melbourne? (so not Italian/greek/french)

@joannaholman Haven't been there for a while, but this place does good Polish food: https://www.borschvodkaandtears.com

Good morning from Switzerland. A bit damp and moody in interlaken today, though picturesque.

Later today I'll be boarding the GoldenPass Express to Montreux, then joining an international media tour that's exploring the country's lesser-known scenic rail routes.

I'll be writing about the highlights for my patrons at my Patreon, so feel free to join the gang and enjoy: https://www.patreon.com/timrichards

@sister_ratched pretty standard three-star Central Europe hotel selection of boiled eggs, bread rolls, cheeses, yoghurt, etc. Livened up by a few things for the Asian tourists, e.g. little pots of spicy chickpeas.

@sister_ratched Didn't mean to sound dismissive, it's all good stuff. They make great bread in this part of the world.

They won’t allow people to board in other zones? Karens will go absolutely nuts …

@stufromoz Hmmm good luck with that. I've never liked that boarding "class system" at US airports in which all the loyalty membership grades go first. And that mucks up the neatness of boarding by area anyway.

OK I have finally arrived at my hotel in Interlaken, Switzerland, just in 35 hours since I walked out of my front door in Melbourne, via:

tram
bus
plane
airport shuttle train
plane
airport shuttle train
train
train
on foot

No wonder I'm exhausted! But I approve of the resultant view. :)

@simonvarwell Indeed it is! See attached map. My train came in along the shoreline of the Thunersee yesterday, lovely view.

Seen this morning at the University of Oregon on-campus convenience store. Our long national nightmare is over.

I really can’t listen to Trump talk. Not even a little. I have a visceral reaction. I’ll read what he had to say but I won’t listen to him. I don’t want that voice anywhere near my head.

timrichards,
@timrichards@aus.social avatar

@davidtoddmccarty Same. What a horrible whiny voice. God knows how his supporters put up with it.

timrichards,
@timrichards@aus.social avatar

@davidtoddmccarty this is where extreme capitalism has got us - people just want someone to tear down the system. Doesn't matter that that's the last thing he'll do. Sigh

What other hashtags inspire you on Mastodon or similar?

I recommend you check out

, and inspires me and my creative outlets.

and other creative tags are useful once you filter out those who are only using Mastodon for promotion and never engage with other people. I have no trouble muting words and people to make my feed interesting and inspiring.

I’m sad CWs are rarely used here anymore.

@Emmacox is fun - sharing interesting images of windows

Just saw Wicked Little Letters at Cinema Nova. More a drama than a comedy really, though with plenty of comic touches. Set in 1920, beneath the plot about poison pen letters it has a thing or two to say about the influence of the patriarchy. Entertaining.

@treleanor I recognised every single actor in that film! Lots of talent.
