If whingy teens are into comic/manga stores, my Teen rates the one (couple?) near Rundle Mall highly.

If anyone's contemplating a side trip to Winton, IMNSHO, I'd do Age of Dinosaurs and the Waltzing Matilda centre. There's now a (less impressive than Lark Quarry) stampede at AAOD, so you don't have to go to Lark Quarry unless you really want to. If you drive to Winton after the flight from...

Why, you cheeky so-and-so!!! :P

2/11 QF1933, boarding pass beeped at the gate, took a while for the staff member to sort out. She eventually printed out a piece of paper where I saw "Happy Birthday from the VIP Service Team" at the bottom of it. 8E to 3E, leaving the Teen to put on Cosplay makeup of a facial scar next to...

QF1938 ADL-BNE on Sun 2/11 - Y -> J, came through on Friday night, about 48hrs in advance for both WP me and SG Teen (on separate bookings).

We've been watching Department Q on Netflix, two more episodes to go. Based on Scandi noir books, I guess this season is one book? Loving all the Scottish accents. 😍

Yup, on a status run/early anniversary trip with Mr Katie in June 2023. BNE-SYD-CHC and return. SYD-CHC was delayed IIRC and then there was fog in CHC (we would have been landing around 1-2 am). We ended up being diverted to WLG. Very frustrating experience, though we managed to nab some...

Teen's birthday present this year was a girls' day trip to Radelaide for a comiccon event where Billie Piper (Dr Who and more) would be appearing. The event overlaps my milestone birthday, and as I'd seen some thing on the website about Billie appearing "all weekend", I took that to include...

Had a procedure on Monday afternoon and spent the night in hospital; specialist normally recommends that for this procedure. With the joy of day surgery and fasting from 8am, not going in for the op until 4:30 or so, I was up in the ward after 7. The anaesthetologist came to visit sometime after...

50c train ride for me!

Bought some of the mini bottles for an upcoming travel-themed party to give as "lolly bags" :)

Contemplating a trip to Vegas in May as No Doubt will be doing 6 shows at the Sphere. 🎉

One time I was helping Germans with a dog find their way to the beer garden at the North Gregory pub in Winton. At the end of the exchange, I apologised for my rusty German. In a truly German manner, they responded with “It’s OK, you can practice!”

Luggage won't be checked through for the SYD-BKK-Samui sectors if you have an overnight in SYD. You'll have to check in at the F desk in SYD International.

I can't think of anything in particular, but it's quite common in Germany for Germans to correct your grammatical mistakes as you're speaking.

Hmmm, hyperparathyroid rings a bell … I’m booked in with the Endo in Dec & might run my PTH numbers and calcium past Uncle Endo. And Dr Google tells me there’s memory loss as a symptom, so add that in to the middle aged woman memory issues I’m having, maybe that’s why I’ve forgotten what...

When you post in a group about calcium content of a product because of hypercalcaemia and someone responds about how their blood sugars have been so good since taking the product. 🤦‍♀️ HyperCALcaemia, not hyperGLYcaemia!

Just back from a health assessment before I'm too old for this category of health assessment. ;):p Calcium levels continue to be up, GP a little concerned about that, so back to the endocrinologist who I didn't follow up with after my first couple of appts with her (was meant to see her in 12...

Being sent a survey by the doctor's clinic to inform the doctor what my appointment is about tomorrow .... when I'm booked in for one of those 45-49yo medicare assessment thingies. Sigh.

I flew BNE-SIN on Fri, 5 Sept. Went downstairs for the novelty on arriving, regretted it with all the morning sun. Only Seppelts or something sparkling in the champers tub at the bar there, didn't ask for better. I had to move upstairs when the downstairs area closed; I was delighted to find...
