Absolutely. The cabin crew's first and foremost job is to save those sh*tty passengers sorry cough in an emergency so they can keep being obnoxious wherever they go. In the meantime, they also serve a mediocre meal and drinks.

Coogee Bay yesterday, fantastic summer's day that started with a quick dip at the SLC baths (ocean swim - zero chance of that happening) followed by breakfast and a mooch around the bay. Out for a walk, was surprisingly quiet but the day hadn't really kicked off...

Coogee Legions Club last night, the very first live performance by All Get Out. Great set, mostly 80's and 90's stuff - playing to the audience given the average age in the bar.

Last minute road trip to Coogee for the long weekend. Usually stop in Mittagong for lunch, this time we tried the Mitta Razzle. In short, great lunch, well worth the short detour. In the foyer there's a fantastic display of service medals from the locals who've served.

Agreed with Mrs Nut to go on a cruise. What have I done! 😖

Last night's office, the Nuts backyard. Could finally sit outside for a couple of quiet ones without feeling like you're sitting in a fan forced oven. The sunset was pretty spectacular hitting the ghost gums and trees but we knew it's the bushfires provides the effects. Mrs Nut mentioned that...

Nice spot Robertson Quay, not as busy as Clark Quay but has a good range of dining options. We stayed near by at the Park Ave Clemenceau which was very handy to both.

...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.
