Good to know; thanks for the update, hopefully you are on the mend.

They were luck they were not in Canberra last week when overnight it was -6deg and it made +4deg during the day!

Woo, finally a business trip up to BME in the dry season!! Every other trip has been in the wet season! Bring it on:!::!:

Currently in the BNE QP with my sister, waiting for our flight to SYD. Anyone else in here?

They're currently serving cold cuts, do they change the menu in the evening to anything else?

Yeah, there should be some hot food (deep fried or oven baked) coming out soon. Think mini-pizzas or chicken nuggets or wedges and various things like that.

I've seen the line now, boy it's getting busy. I guess rush hour time?

I'll send my sister up for the hot food.

Yep, feeding time at the zoo does get the animals clammering to get at the food!

Indeed. Line sniping becomes a necessary skill at these times, especially at the MEL QP and the ADL QP.

Actually it was minus 6 on the Thursday and then maximum 4 degrees on the Friday.

Think that's bad? Wait until the cold part of the year in July/August.

Managed to nab a slice of pizza 0.5" x 1" in size. Shared it with my sister. Cheese, crackers and cold cute were good though. Not to mention the beer.

Might have a red on the plane. Wonder if they'll serve dinner too?

Took my old man's Merc for a major service today and came back home with $6k less (but at least some decent QFF points in return)

Yep, my Lexus bills never come in much better for a major service

I think dinner starts after 6pm IIRC. I guess your next post will confirm.

As for what the dinner is, now that is a more interesting guess....

Lexus' are that exxy to service? At least you're unlikely to have any faults with them esp. if you treat them well.

Damn this year is a tough year for me, financially that is, as I was recently was hit with a $15K strata bill for major rectification works. At least its an investment property and will be offset as a deduction for tax purposes.

A 'standard' service never comes in less than 1k..

It was some sort of vegetarian penne pasta with pumpkin, spinach and peas. Not too bad tasting actually. And of course, drinks service

Ouch! I was told the next service for my b*s will be expensive (by the dealer at the last service) so not looking forward to that. At least my Corolla servicing cost is capped for the first 3 years.

Yay to be a Queenslander; Queensland win 4 state of origin series in a row.

Final score Qld 24- NSW 14.
