Have a fantastic weekend everyone. I’m sorry we couldn’t make this one but as expected we are into the house sale process with a pre settlement inspection today and settlement Monday which makes our weekend full of last minute stuff cleaning.

I’ll be checking in on the festivities though so behave all - NOT!

So my brother told me yesterday. I’ve converted him into everything flying! And now living on Henley Beach esplanade it will fly right over me!

Things have got a bit hectic for me tonight, so unfortunately I may have to bail on drinks! Will check in later to see whether you’re all still there!

Living the dream with something that may have once been pasta thanks to NP in Y on the way to AFF 13.



Then, the CSM appeared.

She raised an eye brow.

I nodded...





EDIT: As the cabin was being prepared for landing this was handed to Mrs H, a PS... outrageous!



Mrs H reckons it has nothing to do with status and everything to do with charm!

Great to meet some AFF friends in person for the first time, if only briefly, and disappointed I didn’t have more time to meet more friends. Have an excellent rest of the weekend. I look forward to meeting more AFFer’s, in person, in the future.

Sadly the flight delay means we are not going to make it tonight.

See you at the Opera house, dinner, or both!

 

[Ewing]

Only just finished wrapping up work for the week so as suspected before I'm not able to make tonight. I'm going to have a glass of wine, a bite to eat, and head off to bed.

Hope the Opera House tour tomorrow goes well. I'm still not that good with stairs so I'm glad I didn't put in for that one!

Anyway. looking forward to dinner tomorrow. See you all then!

I just noticed that Amex have an offer for Transport for NSW fares (when you just tap your card/device rather than an Opal card). Not every card has it, and the amount is variable (I got 40% on my Explorer up to $20). Worth checking and activating — would be good for an airport trip!

 

[Lynda2475]

Fab night, thanks for the great conversation - see you again at dinner tomorrow

 

[Fifa]

Thanks for a great night everyone!
The venue was terrific - great to have our own private bar.

Now this mornings test is to see if you can all remember names and handles for each face...LOL

That's what the lanyards are for

Heading to Opera Kitchen for breakfast this morning before the Tour.

This may help others find their way...

You may start getting a reputation for the “what could go wrong type calls”

Hey! I resemble that remark.

 

[Bindibuys]

Enjoyed the Tattoo last night, but not in bed until after mid-night. See you soon at Opera House.
