Love peas!
I think that’s it. I don’t like peas. Although mushy peas are ok by the teaspoon. Asparagus - can imagine that would be ok. Pumpkin is also nice. I can’t cook risotto here because “one of us” thinks it’s just salty rice.

Big day is here. Happy travels.
 
No idea, but Mr FM said it was really nice :) (and I must get better with my photos - maybe I should leave it to the real photographer :). )
Nooo, your photos are perfect. Keep them happening. “Real” photographers take forever to post and we like instant.
 
Have a wonderful time!

Lost the lottery today :). We had been booked in row 14 for a year - the exit row. Unfortunately Qantas subbed the cough 747 today and seats were randomly allocated, so no exit row and two in 13 and two in 16. Worst of all of course is Mk1 seats. Bit annoyed but what can you do - all airlines do it. Son in law didn’t want to take much time off work, so I booked the most direct flights, rather than going via the Mddle east which was my first thought :) Should have checked last night, but it was a fairly full flight and lowly golds might not have been able to get anything better.

In the J lounge at the moment. A bit cleaner than the last time we were in here.

Edit - just checked and 16 seems to be an exit row, so not all bad - we have that :)

Groan. That’s annoying. Never mind, better things to come.
 
Was all packed up ready to go, but we’ve been delayed to 2pm. Might have to play some more cards :)

Dear oh dear been on the plane for ages but now the inflight entertainment system is not working .- tried to fix but failed so no movies on demand. They have just given up and so should be departing soon. Why oh why did I book Qantas :). :).
 
Now they have a problem with one of the galleys so no idea when we will take off. :) :). I wonder if I can ask for some crisps :) :)
 
Why oh why did I book Qantas

because latam is little if any better.. shiny new tube but open and communal j layout
 
You can go the other way to SCL with EK or QR…;)

Indeed, but the cost….
 
They're wrapped. I wonder if that's a new thing as the lollies are usually just loose in a jar. I like the liquorice all sorts. The only time I eat them is in the lounges.:)

I refer to those as "the Ebola bowl". My office and chiro have swapped to individually wrapped now.
