Some of the activity at YDP on Thursday. It has been busy times at the strip of late what with schedule flights and charters [there is an uptake in mineral exploration].


Yesterday Air Labrador had nine flights alone, then there is Innu Mikun added to that.

I have mentioned before the inadequacy of the  building that passes for a terminal.
Then there is the on going 'meetings' between several levels of government trying to come to grips with a new airport location.

A bit of nostalgia: Meat pie and sauce used to be the old standby for lunch or smoko breaks back in the days of Oz.
There were specialty pie shops, take outs that sold sandwiches and pies and sausage rolls and the like and of course fish N chip shops. This was before the Americanization of the take-out fully took over.

Any way long story short, I still have hankerings for some of these things, meat pie and sauce [ketchup somehow does not do it for me] being one of them.



Fortunately BigLand grocery here has a nice selection of pies, sausage rolls and other finger food delights put out by Presidents Choice.

Last night I spoilt myself with a meat pie gravey mash and vegetables [Fran had roast pork chops].
Of course I smothered them with tomato sauce after the picture was taken, did not want to gross people out completely.
