    Ahoy Captain Minnie! Happy New Year!

    Monday 29 Dec One of the delights of cruising with Disney is the countdown calendar in the cruise app ... we were finally down to 0 sleeps!! A character displays instead of a 0 during the countdown process. Some devotees collected key countdown pictures in the leadup to the cruise! Mr Katie...

    Ahoy Captain Minnie! Happy New Year!

    Sunday continued We wandered near the Hilton, the Teen needed to hit Kinokuniya as quickly as possible. We also gave MIL a "voucher" for Kinokuniya for Xmas (in scare quotes because they only sell vouchers in-store and I made a fake one on Xmas morning for her) so she could get a book for the...

    OK, I'm back to Copper or whatever "no show" level is. Going to PIT in April instead as I could get better flight prices (Y+ rather than Y).

    RUL will be suspended from quotation on the ASX today. Caterpillar has bought all shares in RUL - well, when they pay out all shareholders on 18 Feb! I'm fascinated that over 8m shares have been traded in the past two days.

The rumour I heard from someone working at one of those establishments is "Emirates bought the space and are putting in a Chinese food place". I'm not sure how many...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Melbourne Victory women's and men's team at ADL last Friday. Took us a while to figure out what Sportsball club they were. Mr Katie spotted a "Victory" somewhere on someone's bag, I think. I could only see sponsor names on their clothing.

    Brisbane dinner - 20 January 2026

    @Mattg I notice the menu online said one bill per table - but maybe you already have experience splitting bills there? Just wanted to check. I'm still not sure if I can make it next week.

    Just so people know, it's Supanova in Radelaide that weekend. Probably just means a higher likelihood of seeing people in Cosplay around and about.

After doing some whisky, wine and champagne tasting classes...
