The view from my "office"

The male is a little larger and has a green tinge to the wings and breast.but he kept wanting to get the sun between us.

He just wanted to get into one of your sunset shots!

Here comes birdy for QF10...



Scheduled departure was 1315h. Revised 1430h. It’s now 1410 and the bird is just getting to gate. No way will it be 1430h. I have all the time in the world .

Another Champagne is in order...

You'd be better off going to the CX lounge!

Refer to my post in the LHR-PER direct thread and you’ll see why I stuck around here.

QF10 cancelled. Went tech, then I think crew ran out of hours. Set to depart 0700 tomorrow.

That’s a lot of hours drinking champagne

And an obvious risk operating ULH flights.

From the BNE Business Lounge early this morning



To the takeoff roll


Up to cruising altitude with obligatory wing shot


with destination here (and a runway I haven’t landed on in years)


for a second, I thought we were going around but finally we landed and the long taxi back.

Very fast ride PER-MEL. Only just finished lunch at TOD .

Well, what do I say about the lunch? The duck (no pic) was tasty but lacked any colour, so looked a bit meh when presented.



But - the mussels: phwoar - just phwoar!

As I said to Tony, the CSM: an inspired - but brave - dish for in-air. But it worked a treat. Who would have thought it possible?

It is new on the menu from 1 Sept.

Ah... have to love QF (Consistently Inconsistent (tm) (pat.)) for ‘You Just Wait And We Will Blow Your Socks Off From Left Field When You Are Least Expecting It’ (pat. pend.).

Brilliant! Would have to be the most unique in-air dish I can recall.



The Credaro (Carbunup - N Marg R) Chardonnay worked a treat. Credaro is really nailing it these days. Gosh, I can remember tramping over those paddocks years ago when those guys grew spuds...

Cheese was good with a Heathcote Estate Shiraz.

Awww, I’ll be the first to say it: sooo cute!

Hyuck, hyuck, hyuck...

27th flight in the last 10 weeks. I suppose I should go home occasionally...

You mean 1K isn’t home?

You mean 1K isn’t home?

It's home-away-from-home - when 1A isn't available....
