    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Oh, and I requested at Y+ to J upgrade for my Dad and his wife, both NB, on QF103 for Sat 28 September. The upgrade came through at about T-28. They were just thrilled.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Ariana and Cynthia were on QF12 with me, just landed. Unsure about Jonathan Bailey or the actor playing Boq. I thought I saw Cynthia before boarding at LAX. Actually, after googling, I think Ethan Slater was on the flight. No men as tall as Jonathan Bailey in that group.

    Safety while travelling alone

    What? This was a random thing, not targetted and not in any way linked to any public information about my whereabouts. That man would have just as likely accosted any other woman or vulnerable person walking along the road who "took his fancy" that day. If it were targetted and intentional...

    Safety while travelling alone

    He seemed to be coming closer to me, despite my lack of interaction, until the other woman on the bike came up and somewhat positively interacted with him “Fine, thanks!” That kind of thing. Ignoring him, head down, was not working.

    Safety while travelling alone

    This is on my mind after an incident this morning. For the moment, I’ll leave location details out, as I’m still travelling and in that location. FWIW, Mr Katie doesn’t know about this, as I want to speak to him personally, and I don’t need him worrying about me travelling alone. I’m in the US...

    QF11 Y+ -> J, text came through around T-60. After my upgrade, EF was still showing J9 C9 D9 I9. I was fairly confident of this one coming through. Fingers crossed for the way home.

    AFF Gathering #17 in BNE on 18 - 20 October 2024

    Dress code question for tonight (Friday night) at Chu the Phat - gentlemens, is anyone wearing shorts? I'm thinking Mr Katie would prefer to wear shorts and a polo shirt ... but he wouldn't want to be the only male type person doing so. TIA!

    So, what music are you listening to now?

    I ended up buying Chappell Roan's album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, the other week, much to my teen's horror. ;) She was less horrified by my purchase of Lil Nas X's Montero a couple of years ago. :D

    Sydney Theatre Thread

    I read some awful reviews of Brightman early on, so decided it wasn't worth travelling to see. Not even sure if it's showing in Brisbane.
