...and QF 7, October 2023. No menu, just pics. The Aperitivo that's not even an entre: Arancini ball and a beer 🙂 Had the champers and nuts on arrival. A real entre: chicken satay and a cauliflower stir fry thingy. From memory was tasty and a good portion. Looks like things are going...

Here's a little menu time capsule for you: QF103 June 2023 J Class menu from SYD to HNL Not that long ago when Qantas actually offered a decent J Class menu.

...and to complete the overnighter in Glenrowan, how could you not do a visit to Kellyland: Animatronic Theatre Museum. Cheesy yes but entertaining and informative. Thoroughly enjoyed. The animatronic reenactment of the Kelly Gangs last stand at Anne Jones' Glenrowan Hotel complete with Coles...

While in the region, we also stopped at Morrisons of Glenrowan. This is an old style tasting room where you talk to the owner/wine maker. There are plenty of reds to choose from but as the driver, was limited to selecting a glass of the Premium Reserve that very tasty. A bottle of the Reserve...

On the Victorian theme, we stopped at Glenrowan on the way home yesterday. The kids gave us a voucher for Christmas to Baileys vinyard, both agreed we had the best pizza lunch in a long time with a glass of red.

Absolutely Scash! We're definately doing a repeat visit and the adult kids are keen to join. There's a couple of quirky shops in Portarlington that sell cool stuff at a fraction of Mornington's prices. Sadly, some of the old olive groves are being bulldozed for housing subdivisions.

...view from our table at Jack Rabbit. the tastings were interesting. They arrived in test tubes which according to my Mrs Nuts wine dude uncle doesn't do the nose thing. Anyway, wines were fine the host arrived said they should have given us a glass to decant to....

New year's ever office, a tour organised through Franscene Bellarine that included a return ferry from Docklands to Portarlington, single course long lunch lunch at Jack Rabbit Winery that included a free glass on arrival and tastings plus transfers. The views were stunning, looking back over...

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?
