Something I was unaware about my deceased colleague:

Rob was also a pilot with a great passion for all aircraft and spent thousands of hours working with the Qantas Museum. His photographic records of all things aeronautical is just fantastic.

Whilst I knew he was a pilot (we'd had chats over the years), I had no idea about his Qantas Museum work.

We have all lost...

When my father died, we had many people attend his funeral and it totally surprised us with the number of people in his trade (Dentistry) who told us of all the charitable things he had done for them in his professional life. He'd not said a word to us.
 
Uh-oh. CT results confirm a stroke. On doctor's orders, I've just taken mum to emergency for more tests etc. I could be here a while.

Thinking good and recuperative wishes for your Mum, erkpod!
 
Back from the hospital. Mum's been admitted to the stroke unit at Nepean. I'm so sad.

Sorry to hear..
Well wishes for your Mum erkpod.
Hope the AFF community is providing some form of support to keep your spirit positive.
 
Suggestions please clever people:

Have 2 new identical products launching on Oz market in 3 weeks - only diff between 2 products is colour. One is DARK BLUE - we are calling this MIDNIGHT BLUE - the other is WHITE - bit reluctant to go with VIRGINAL WHITE - and just plain old WHITE too boring - suggestions please

Classic White?

*shrug*

Depending on the product, how about Euro White, or Euro-Chic White?

I'm not clever, just spouting whatever comes to mind... Of course, have no idea what the product is, but "Virginal White" is rather odd suggestion...
 
Looks like mum could be home on Monday, depending on results of scans tomorrow.

I've received clearance to fly to Melbourne on the 20th, Clarance.

Things are a lot better today as long as I don't have the fish.

For you Cruiser Elite it can only be - China White
 
A little OT but I'm currently onboard VA in J and the FAs are religiously policing the use of the J overhead bins, it is fantastic to watch it unfold :mrgreen:

MIDNIGHT BLUE is good.

Need to work on the white... Arctic White sounds okay.
