Weather forecast from our son visiting the Edmonton office.... -23, feels like -32. No, just no. Meanwhile in Melbourne....while the wind was a bit fresh, much better weather at Docklands yester.

While we were sleeping off a proper sessh with our eldest son, his girlfriend and the outlaws at the G's Deck Bar, our youngest son was flying from Toronto to Edmonton on Boxing Day. Toronto's Pearson airport, down to one runway. Sat in the aircraft for two hours due to congestion. ....taxi...

Couple from yesterdays Boxing Day test at the G. What a day, the seven of were wrapped to be part of the 93,300 crowd watching 20 wickets fall in a day. Sensational! Was a cool breeze up in the nose bleed section so around 2.30 we abandoned our seats and spent the afternoon in the Deck Bar at...

Son did a stint with Swissport, part of which was marshalling. Suffice to say he said people are dumb and can't follow basic directions, he's has had to pull people up. Sadly, they wouldn't be there without a reason.

Hazard a guess Matt but the government directed cuts to public service travel is starting to bite. Qantas are simply adjusting to lower demand.

In between prepping for our drive to MEL for Christmas, went to the National Museum to check out the Kimberly Wilderness. It a VR trip through various locations in the, you guessed it, Kimberly's. If you're in CBR, highly recommend. The VR headsets and concept are amazing...

Cloud seeding the contrails

On top of Mrs Nut rightfully calling me a flog, the best WP recognition happened a couple of years ago. I was left stranded in the AKL QF cupboard (RIP) after my flight to BNE was delayed three hours. Take off eventually occured and the Pursuer later introduced himself apologising for the late...

Visage did a great version of this song...

A couple of years ago, a QF flight from SYD to DFW we were on ran out of meals in J! Two work mates down the back had a choice of tuna mornay or they could make something up for them. WTF, we're in J they politely enquired? Turned out well in the end. The crew said a couple of pax up the front...

Are the Sri Lankans ready for the mass influx of bogans?

Today's office, a spot of Christmas shopping this arvo at Capital Brewing for a Brodburger and a pint of XPA. Grabbed a couple of crafties for our son in MEL for Christmas. They'll go with a couple beers from Cypher Brewing and Bentspoke - Canberra theme happening. I like this Christmas tree....

Interesting interpretation. Thought the pie was suppose to be sitting up side down on a bed of blue peas? Anyway, did it taste good?

I'm happy anywhere so long as it's not in front of my dual monitor work screens! A walk along Mission Beach QLD, a beer at the Jovial Judge Whangarei, fish and chips in Batemans Bay, wondering around Chiang Mai, anywhere really.

I'm getting a tad antsy with this thread.

In NAN, on the way home to CBR, Fiji Air staff did a pre-flight bag check after we scanned our boarding passes and just before boarding. They took my full 250 ml standard airline water bottle that I filled in the lounge! We did have a chuckle to ourselves.

Saturday afternoon for the Nut's, the PM's XI at Manuka Oval. Not a big crowd but turned out to be a pleasant afternoon, if a little breezy at the cricket followed by dinner at the Kingston Hotel.

On greetings, when I was a WP Mrs Nut and I were boarding a domestic flight, think it was CBR. Mrs Nut was in front, flashed up her boarding pass and got the usual disinterested row something, on the left, whatevs. I flashed up mine and the hostie came alive "Welcome back Mr Nut, great to have...

That's funny AF!

We flew CBR-NAN earlier this year when I was SG. So, couple of things: we had acres to the J lounge as we flew on a Sunday, sweet! The CBR international departure lounge is fine. The bar's ok, over priced as usual though Mrs Nut said the Chardy wasn't that good. Is there any special treatment...
