    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF503 BNE-SYD 5:20am departure 😳 Choices: Bircher muesli, Eggs and Sausage or Bacon and Egg pie. His nibs and I both had the pie. It his the spot after about 3-4hrs of sleep. Tasty enough, I declined the bread.

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    I just called Qantas to change our flights for BNE-SYD-AKL-SYD-BNE this weekend for the AFF dinner. Limited availability coming back means we're on QF4 at ungodly hour on Sunday morning, but I guess that means we'll have some time to do the Sunday chores at home! The agent kept offering the...

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    Just spent an hour running around Brisbane CBD to find a powerbank for my Mum. JB HiFi, Big W, Target, Officeworks, Apple, the Powerpod ATM outside Target were all sold out. Found a guy in a phone/phone accessory story in the Myer Centre, sorry UpTown, unpacking an order of powerbanks. Hooray...

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    I'm not sure as I wasn't living in Brisbane then (or anywhere, actually, just a zygote or something I guess :P) I know the flooding we had in 2022 was worse in our area than 1974 - and it was a well known flooded area in 1974, with many houses and businesses resumed afterwards. My area also...

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    Interesting! When we sandbagged our old house for one of the floods, we didn't account for the ingress from weep holes in the brickwork. 😢 This looks like it would account for that. Though for that house, it would need to be about 2m high.

    Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

    With the predicted storm/cyclone arrival time, I don't think we'll be making our 7:45am flight to SYD on Friday. Especially as the govt has asked everyone who can to remain inside and not travel for the next two days. Yet to formally rebook the flights, but we're out. 😭 Sorry, this would have...

    Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

    Have made a Plan B for the Teen and Mr Q (the dog). Will chat to Mr Katie at home tonight about whether we'll sit it out for another day or so or rebook for next weekend. But next weekend, there's no AFF dinner. :( (It's a DSC booking, which is why I want to keep it)

    Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

    Anyone have plans or ideas for Saturday? The most interesting thing I can see from googling "Top 10 things to do in Auckland" for us is maybe a visit to Waiheke?

    Experiences with hotel wake-up calls

    I used the in-room tablet in our Disney resort in November last year. We, well I, was awoken by various Disney characters - Animal yelling and crashing drums, Donald Duck squawking, and so on.
