    I work for a large telecommunications that has had a problem with the word premises ever since nbn became a thing. I lost count of the number of times I had to correct documents and communications that had Fibre to the Premise. It still happens. Qantas is at it now. It now seems that the new...

    I hadn't even noticed the from. Considering that I live in Brisbane, even weirder.

    Latest Qantas news letter has quite the holiday available

    Not really sure how you fly to one and stay at the other. Teleportation maybe?

    What are you reading right now?

    Getting back into reading to try and calm my ever anxious brain. Just about to start The Bookbinder of Jericho. If it's even half as good as The Dictionary of Lost Words it will be excellent.

    Made a very impulsive purchase on Monday. Despite both of us saying we wouldn't ever help fund the evil Musk empire we bought a Model Y demo. Saving just under $20k v the Mini just made unquestionable economic sense.

    General EV Discussion

    I'm waiting for Brisbane Mini Garage to respond to a question about when the Countryman E will arrive for testing. After being keen on the EX30 for ages, recent reviews are now showing just how small it is inside. We've gone and sat in the new Countryman (ICE version) and it is very similar in...

    Request for either Y or J on QF521 BNE-SYD on 08/11 for partner. Y seats are weirdly expensive. No Y on sale, J seat released successfully.

    Cruise ships leaving behind late returners

    They must have been at a pier/jetty for the wheelchair bound passenger to have debarked Ron? There's no way they could have lifted her up into the ship from the pilot boat when they attempted to reboard. I'll guess the group decided if they couldn't get her onboard they would stick together as...

    I looked out the window a couple of times during the early morning and we were already well into Moreton Bay. We were tied up at the treatment works by 6am We didn't intend to shower or breakfast, just walk off as soon as we were told we could. We'd arranged with a friend to pick us up at 8:15...

    Carnivale here we come. Ok, we wish, Carnival here we come

    We had a very cursory look for seats in Serenity but realised it was a lost cause and ended up in some not at all comfortable sofas on deck 10 above the lido pool. No matter, we stayed there pretty much all day. Long enough for me to start and finish a book. The Silent Patient by Alex...

    Sea day Brunch in Vela. Same process with the app. It was much quieter, possibly due to the apparently famous ‘Green eggs and ham’ breakfast (extra cost) up on the higher level of the restaurant. I have no idea what the tie-in is between Carnival and Dr Suess and haven’t bothered to...
