Had a procedure on Monday afternoon and spent the night in hospital; specialist normally recommends that for this procedure. With the joy of day surgery and fasting from 8am, not going in for the op until 4:30 or so, I was up in the ward after 7. The anaesthetologist came to visit sometime after...

50c train ride for me!

Bought some of the mini bottles for an upcoming travel-themed party to give as "lolly bags" :)

Contemplating a trip to Vegas in May as No Doubt will be doing 6 shows at the Sphere. 🎉

One time I was helping Germans with a dog find their way to the beer garden at the North Gregory pub in Winton. At the end of the exchange, I apologised for my rusty German. In a truly German manner, they responded with “It’s OK, you can practice!”

Luggage won't be checked through for the SYD-BKK-Samui sectors if you have an overnight in SYD. You'll have to check in at the F desk in SYD International.

I can't think of anything in particular, but it's quite common in Germany for Germans to correct your grammatical mistakes as you're speaking.

Hmmm, hyperparathyroid rings a bell … I’m booked in with the Endo in Dec & might run my PTH numbers and calcium past Uncle Endo. And Dr Google tells me there’s memory loss as a symptom, so add that in to the middle aged woman memory issues I’m having, maybe that’s why I’ve forgotten what...

When you post in a group about calcium content of a product because of hypercalcaemia and someone responds about how their blood sugars have been so good since taking the product. 🤦‍♀️ HyperCALcaemia, not hyperGLYcaemia!

Just back from a health assessment before I'm too old for this category of health assessment. ;):p Calcium levels continue to be up, GP a little concerned about that, so back to the endocrinologist who I didn't follow up with after my first couple of appts with her (was meant to see her in 12...

Being sent a survey by the doctor's clinic to inform the doctor what my appointment is about tomorrow .... when I'm booked in for one of those 45-49yo medicare assessment thingies. Sigh.

I flew BNE-SIN on Fri, 5 Sept. Went downstairs for the novelty on arriving, regretted it with all the morning sun. Only Seppelts or something sparkling in the champers tub at the bar there, didn't ask for better. I had to move upstairs when the downstairs area closed; I was delighted to find...

Weds 13 August We board CX165 also about an hour late. We were unable to change our seats at all on this leg, and we had middle seats at the front of the J cabin. Very efficient services from the FAs with OWE greetings and trying to take our orders for dinner and brekky on their iPad. Mr Katie...

Tues 12 August I slept pretty well through the flight and felt up to some brekky before our 5pm arrival! It's not just Qantas who do it! The pancakes were good, not sure I ate much else. After landing in HKG, I was amused to see we were still 46km away. It felt like we taxied for 46km to...

Monday 11 August I arrive in Zurich by about 10:30 or so and eventually manage to store my luggage in 3 different lockers. All the XL and XXL lockers (for my big red suitcase) were taken, well, all of those at the bottom. There was one in the middle height section, which meant lifting the...

Catching up on Mr Katie So, back to Mr Katie's adventures. Sat 2 August - they stayed at the Novotel in Ypres. Walking distance from the Menin Gate, only street parking available. Sun 3 August - off to Oudenaarde; they stayed at the Leopold Hotel for 1 night and started working on completing...

Wow. Email received at 12:40pm saying the SCs will be moved into this year. And they're in my account, just checked at 12:50pm. Day 1 of my status year and I'm on 250 thanks to PCP and the SC gift!

I contacted QF through the website today asking if the 150 SCs could be credited to me this year (my status year starts today) as they were useless to me in my last status year.

I was one leaf short of Green tier yesterday, and my year finished. Can't remember what I needed, but it was doable, I think. I didn't need the SCs, but maybe they'd have helped me think LT WP was possible before I turn 95. Now into the new year with one leaf.

Monday 11 August, Disembarkation day 😭 We woke to a beautiful day in Basel. And another industrial dock. Apparently, the harbour/river/dock bosses in Basel are quite thingy about where and when you can moor. We had brekky, hung around a little, and waited for our taxi. We had to disembark...
