The view from my "office"

[SYD]

Single runway ops in SYD which mean an unusual landing path and lots of circling which is always fun for us golden triangle commuters

If I was sitting in 1F I’d get a better view but had to make do…a lovely sunset makes up for a little extra flying time

The office and view on a beautiful coast spring day.
daisies and kangaroo paws thinking the weather is great.




Then the swans came by with their new brood.


But the youngster's wanted to go exploring on their own.

CBR-MEL QF B717 J 1A very unplanned, reward seat request seat to MEL.



Breaking dawn as we departed CBR


Early morning MEL

Well, after the work is done, one has to come home … back to CBR today morning … reward seat Y … Very quick today, out of my mates car by 0603, clear security by 0607, into the lounge by 0610

CBR was very foggy - so our plane was not allowed to depart MEL. I was on the 2nd service to CBR out of MEL, however, on reaching the lounge, I saw the boards that the 1st service to CBR has not departed yet due to clearance.



So a quick brekkie at MEL J, followed by a couple of episodes of “Fisk”. Loving Kitty and the Webmaster in this new series

Anyways, the 1st service to CBR boarding was announced. So I rushed to the front desk and see if I can fly forward on the 1st service. But as it was my turn to talk to the agent, boarding for the 2nd service was also announced!

So off to the gate and boarded with no dramas.

We were sitting in the tarmac for a good 20-30 mins. There were a lot of QF planes in the vicinity. And the runway was super busy. The captain came on the PA and announced that our taxi is delayed and we’d be out of here shortly. A A330 just pulled nearby - followed by another 717 and we finally pushed back after 1 hour delay in total. Saw the RetroRoo pull up.




As we were landing in CBR, the sky was clear, but as soon as we got close to land, there was a thick blanket of fog.


Yours truly was able to capture the top of the telstra tower, just in time. I shall halt here and give you, my dear readers, a moment to congratulate me on my cameraman-ship (is that the word? )



Anyhoooo, touch down, walked over the newsagency to say hi to the folks I know and then onto a Uber and into the city for work.

Hoyts cinema, somewhere in MEL. I’m not sure how many here are fans of Tamil movies. I’m certainly not, but I gave into peer pressure and went to watch a movie when in MEL.

The hero in the movie is Rajinikanth. He’s called “The Superstar”. The fans go crazy for his movies, his swag, style and suaveness etc.

This movie was supposed to be his comeback movie. So my mates were looking everywhere to get tickets and were able to score some. And they definitely wanted me to join them.

Anyways, here we are … the movie title is “Jailer”

There was definitely a massive fan following and shouting/yelling etc. but then again, this was expected and I was able to immerse myself in the experience

Oh go and do some work or mow the lawn or something!!!!!!!

Mrs FB mowed the lawn last night
