    Surf Life Saving Australia + QF partnership - points earning opportunity

    Rips have no waves and the water returning out is generally travelling faster because there are no waves, thus the rippled/washing machine effect. Where that water is travelling over uneven sand, it gives way and that’s how people find themselves on a sand bank one minute and quickly in deep...

    Surf Life Saving Australia + QF partnership - points earning opportunity

    As a former Lifesaver and avid watcher of the SLS carnivals, great to see such a partnership in place.

    Gifts for cabin crew

    Another two sectors today - VA PER/MEL and MEL/BNE Both crews were thrilled to receive the sleeve of FR’s. The CM Claire on PER/MEL was hilarious as she stuffed up one of the announcements and said “choose your words Claire”, slapping her head and laughing.

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

    Bumped into him in the MEL VA Lounge and again on the aerobridge as we waited to board our plane back home - AFL legend Luke Hodge (played for both Hawthorn and Brisbane). We’re both missing out on the AFL draft (live now) For those that aren’t sports mad:

    The view from my "office"

    The view from my room at DoubleTree Northbridge last night was uninspiring. Sadly, I’m sitting in 5D on my PER/MEL flight so no photos. Damn those other pax who snaffled all the EconX window seats

    The view from my "office"

    True. The previous lunch spot next door, as you know, has changed hands. Nor it’s a Whole Food restaurant but was full of women (didn’t see a man in there at all).

    The view from my "office"

    I know it’s hard but somebody had to sit and check out the view for 90 minutes (Cottesloe Beach, WA): Then back to my hotel (DoubleTree Northbridge):

    Gifts for cabin crew

    So I had 2 flights yesterday - BNE VA ADL VA PER, both in Economy X (as a VA Plat). My usual gift of the sleeve of 5 Ferrero Rocher chocolates as I board thanking the crew for their service. The BNE/ADL crew were thrilled and made sure they looked after me, with them all coming to thank me in...

    What I ate today - the food thread

    Lunch at Supernormal Brisbane (never been here before, building on the river near Customs House). This tuna below was delightful - light, tasty - never had with Orange before but would again and again. Nothing left of the 2 plates after my table of 4 finished (lucky we weren’t a table of 8...

    What I ate today - the food thread

    Lunch on Tuesday at Customs House Brisbane: Loved the fact that it was local Qld produce. Don’t often eat Quail, it was beautifully cooked and I’d have sucked the bones if I’d been at a street vendor. Oh my gosh the Eye Fillet was the bomb. Better cooked than the quail. Jus was...

    Melbourne mad cow dinner - Olive Tree 7pm, Wed. 27 Nov2024

    I was so close to coming to Melbourne as one of my clients said Wed 27th was free. But can’t justify an overnight at the moment. Sad I’m going to miss the function and seeing @penegal and @whughes3 (wow, it’s been a while!)
