You need to take up a new hobby, maybe you can read a few of the magazines and books I haven't got around to reading just yet, then just send me a short version.

Oh, I'm busy - I just don't have to pretend by trying to look busy. It was a gorgeous day for a run on Port-Leighton Beach followed by a swim, then a nice sit in the sun at Cottesloe reading a book for a while. I hoped you looked out the window to see how nice it was Bundy :p.

In case not, here's a snip from the Swanbourne web cam this morning :cool::

Nice photo and yes I did have a look outside, not sure how you could swim in the cold water, although the weather is rather nice for winter.

I will be going for a run this afternoon, hopefully I stay as thin as you are at your age. I am actually competing in the 12km Perth City to surf and I am rather out of practice.

The water will feel great after that run!
 
And the people that are busy looking busy do it so well they look busier than the people who are actually busy. :confused:
 
No champagne for me... but I'm getting a new laptop.

Kind of miffed that I won't have an opportunity to use any of the QF F Lounges before I leave the country, but I guess there will be another chance some time.

I hope the new laptop comes with European power adapters.

So I went for my 6km run but only just got up off the couch to make dinner, I was stuffed.

Schmeh... if there's one thing I learned since moving over here, it's who cares about F lounges when you can travel and experience a new city every weekend!

Of course not.

The old converter adapters are just fine and most new devices are multi-voltage / frequency covering most of the world.

True, but I live in East Australia and my time in Europe has not come yet. :D ;)

Did you make anything exciting?

My dinner consisted of boiled potato, tomato, olives, onion and olive oil. Still hungry so had some carrot and celery with mayonnaise. Still hungry....

Maybe the choice of words was wrong, I remember getting a sony laptop about 7 years ago and in the box came 4 different plugs, English, European, US and Australian.

I remember getting my new Sony laptop and it only came with the Australian plug but I still had the old box with the little cable with the different wall plugs.

So I was just making sure you had all the right wall sockets.

Since I have moved to Western Australia I don't miss being Platinum. F lounge visits were fun but just way to difficult to get to from the west coast, and with Qantas cutting out service to Singapore it just shows how unimportant business is for them from Perth.
