Little things I like

LTIL: Staff that go out of their way to do little things that make a big impression.

Had a brief chat with one of the staff working the front desk here at the Novotel AKL Airport and mentioned I'd been going since 4am and was trying to power through to my next flight at 6am. Cue momentary shock from the hotel staffer. I went back to where I've set up shop here in the lobby, and the next thing I know he's walking over with a fistful of pre-packaged cookies (think like you'd get in the minibar) for me because he thought it might help me to "power through".

Not staff but terrific!

Back in "the Day" (OK, a decade and a half ago) @Kiwi_Flyer showed me where it was possible to get some quiet sleep landside on the (now publicly inaccessible) floor above immigration at AKL international.

That's an LTIL!

(Loved those NZD35 fares on QF that earned 20 SC)

2 things for me this week.
Emirates First CHC-SYD on Sunday evening was awesome, one of my best flights ever.
Have flown QF first and BA first were ok but not in the same league.
I am now likely QF 4 flights away from Life time gold and Qantas platinum for this membership year.

I was over central AU this morning heading to MEL when I opened my window shade and caught the first glow of an Aussie sunrise. I haven’t seen one of them for a few weeks.

LTIL: In the past week I have parked in Hobart and forgotten to start the parking app - one in a highly patrolled zone. In both cases, I came back after about 90 mins, having remembered that I hadn't started parking so feeling pretty wretched, and ... no tickets!

Thanks, but pretty confident I got away with it. They are very consistent on putting it both well stuck on the windscreen & under wiper blades; in one case I was in underground car park so little chance of being 'blown away'.

That there is a new and working way to load all the libraries I am a member of onto the kobo , kinda convuluted but it works !!! Which means just having one "connected " Libby will talk to my kobo and download whichever books I borrow whoohoo (yes my husband didn't get excited either especially when managed to spill a half litre of water all over the bed, no definitely water and not wine lol )
Now off to reset a couple of passwords and I will have about six libraries that are on my Libby able to "talk" to my kobo

LTIL: When you flick something on TV and are mesmerised for the next 2 hours.

Watched 'Notre Dame the Renaissance Concert' (SBS), from last December, which marked the completion of the cathedral's rebuild and restoration.

Wow. Try to see it on iView. And the light show at the end. Only bad note was a gospel choir, with all the usual flamboyance. I mean, why?

Two highlights amongst many.

Hallelujah by Vianney. Not a translation but an original re-composition in French

Daniel Lozakovich Performs the Aria from the 3rd Suite by Bach. I'd never heard of him. Remarkable story.

Hallelujah thank you, great tip, I'll look for it.

I dropped into Woolies on my way to work this evening. No queue at the register.

My Woolies has brand new trolleys. They're plastic, so they're light to push and roll smoothly, but best of all, they can be easily steared.

My local has been using them for a while now - definitely better than the old metal ones.

Several years now for us. They are recycled plastic. Sturdy

They are recycled plastic.

Even better!
