Oh how I hate public transport with a passion.

Went out Saturday night and knew would have a few to drink so got a lift. Stayed a little bit longer and went outside at 3:55am to wait for N30 night rider bus. No bus in sight. Started checking internet bus schedules to check I had not missed bus and trying to look up at same time. Noticed bus screaming down the centre lane and I signalled but bus kept going. There were other cars around so guess bus couldn't stop but don't understand why bus is not travelling in kerb lane.

Very disappointing. Ended up getting taxi which was thankfully not expensive but that's not the point.

Good grief. I’m fast asleep by that time.

I sometimes wake at that hour but usually persuade myself to roll over and go back to sleep.

My garmin tracker keeps track of my sleep - I always knew I turned over numerous times per night but it now explains why some mornings I wake up tired.

Not a good habit and not a proud achievement. Acceptable when single but unacceptable with a wife and young daughter.

Unfortunately though keep making the same mistakes over and over.

This week I am working on securing seats at the new Perth Stadium. Picked up 6 this afternoon and have another 10 to secure which I hope will get done tomorrow or Wednesday.

On my phone I thought it read $1.00 and I thought, yeah, I'll pay a dollar for crackers and cheese but now on my 32" monitor, I see its $9!!!

Bwhahahahaahahahahahahahahah. Nine. Dollars! Bwahhahahahahaahahahahah

In Brisbane it seems as if we skipped Spring and Summer straight back to Autumn/Winter.

Chilly last night and I've had the aircon on all night on heat at 30° which is just keeping the room warm. Obviously feeling the cold more as I get older.

See you will save $1....so normally it is supposed to be $10? A few olives thrown around doesn't make tapas to my way of thinking

Whats the reason for "save" $1. Has it been $10 recently?. Or is it always "save $1"

Who knows? It's printed on the menu so my bet it that it has always been $9. Perhaps they reckon it is 'save $1' on what you would pay if you were able to buy the cheese and the olives separately

 

[Denali]

Whereas Im thinking, people have really paid $10 for that!

Although I do like the cheese and crackers you get on VA. Usually I have to ask for them from the Y menu as we dont rate coon cheese and jatx in J.

Ah good old JQ. I've got a couple of price beat flights this weekend and would like to prepay a couple of $10 vouchers on each flight. Do you think I can do it? The few choices of meal options they have are awful.

Do you notice I have become an otter now? It's one of the new ones at the Canberra Zoo - it is very cute, unlike moi

So long as you are not culturally appropriating an otter its ok

What are you planning to use the vouchers for?
