At the LAX office returning back to Australia. Reflecting on how status really makes travel smoother. Despite all the gripes people have I truly think there are tangible benefits.

Thanks to being Marriott Ambassador they managed to secure a very generous checkout after 7pm which is handy for a very late LAX departure…where the hotel threads for the other chains are talking about early checkin fees and consider 1pm generous for checkout.

Personal welcome to the QF F lounge and restaurant and nice drop from the behind bar.

Ummmmmm, yeah, 15 degrees and raining here in London. Ah, summer! ;)

I'm heading over there for work in a couple of weeks. I was thinking at least it will be half decent until I checked the forecast there last night. Sheesh :(

September usually has a little uptick in weather, so hopefully will improve. That being said, I'm escaping to warmer (very hot and humid unfortunately) climes next week so not back until late September anyway..... at which point it'll be rubbish no doubt.

Although I've just checked the forecast for the next 2 weeks and looks to be sunny and 22. That's perfect - what's your complaint? :P
 
I was just contemplating coming to Perth for a visit but that's too warm for me 🥵

Never fear. It's going to be rubbish tomorrow and for the next week with a bit of rain and max temps from high teens to very low twenties.
