My LTIL started off as a WCMO moment yesterday coming back from the supermarket. It is 2 lanes each way until close to home but it was school pick up time s lots of traffic in both lanes. The Ford Ram behind me was doing a series of tail gating manoeuvres alternating with attempts to force his...

A warm welcome to AFF @Royang from another red wine drinker. I started off 60 years ago as a lover of shiraz but as I have aged enjoy many more red varieties.

But 3 male bike/scooter riders and only 1 female cyclist. So that makes males twice as bad by your reckoning?

On the airolo site I only get this

Seniors copping it a bit in the last few days so my turn to have a go at the young who often have no manners and completely absorbed by self. Yesterday had a walk around Buderim Meadows. Easy as many shared walkways and cycle ways. And they often had big arrows on the left side indicating that...

Anyone used eSIM Thailand. I need calls this time. Airolo is 19days for $16 but eSIM Thailand 30 days unlimited data and local calls $1299. And we will be there 30 days.

All now firmed up. Added to above is end January 3 days on Gold Coast. May cruise now cancelled but we already had awards BNE-SIN so now 5 days in SIN. 5 days in Bataam and 5 days in Bangkok. Was able to get awards SIN-BKK and BKK-SIN-BNE. J on SQ. August /September Awards BNE-BKK on JQ o_O...

We did have a cruise booked SIN-Doha-Athens for April/May 2025. The middle east put paid to that. They cancelled the Doha to Athens segment back in February. By may stopped selling the SIN Doha segment and it disappeared from the website but it wasn't until October that they officially cancelled...

Today a my gov email to check my income statements. no thanks.

All were booked early which goes to show booking early is not neccesarily good. And all were booked through our TA but cancelled by Silversea.

You can still earn status on SQ and SQ to the USA can be a good deal. We often fly BNE-SIN-BKK and return. Sometimes we run out of points and have to buy a fare. So after the changes we would get 150 SCs each way on SQ tickets down from 180 at present. On VA codeshare it is still 180. But for...

We started 2024 with 6 voyages on Silversea booked. They have all been cancelled. Obviously with a fair bit of push from our TA we got a cruise on the Silver Spirit Southhampton to Lisbon in September 2025 for roughly 50% off the advertised price. It included one credit called Customer...

A warm welcome @Stefan Wisniowski .

Today was payday. I have been a long term follower of DEG. I used to buy in <5 cents and sell out between 25 and 75 cents. They were the classic stop and go stock. but about 4.5 years go they started running and I had to pay 7.5 cents to get back in. This time I stayed in. Have sold some when...

The flowering tree was possibly a Japanese plum. some do start flowering in January so still early. If it had a fragrance it is a plum tree. cherry blossoms usually don't have a fragance.

A warm welcome @byron.lumley . All the best for your trip and Proposal. Would be ideal if it was in April so the proposal could be under the cherry blossoms.

WCMO yesterday was a van pulling out from the left causing me to Brake. WCMOEM was that it was a Police van so couldn't demonstrate my displeasure.

I think mother butcherbird is getting as much as she can out of us using her young one to shame us. She has a song of 6 notes she always uses when she wants us to let us know she is there. I was sitting next to the patio door doing some trip planning when she called from the frangipani. I...

From QLD what is the best time to ring LM/Avianca. Unfortunately have to cancel a TG J award.
