Off on another flight - first time I have flown Virgin, or even actually internal Australian - the guy at the checkout made a good first impression, recognised my Hurricanes top and asked whether they were playing in Melb - no, they're here this week, he was from Invercargill, Highlanders territory - they have the Blues tonight - I cursed the Aussie teams to lose LOL, in an Aussie airport, now that's a Kiwi moment, if he hadn't been at work we would have been doing the Speights v DB debate... god I miss home...
But am in Oz for the forseeable future, remind me to resign from my LWOP back home, my two years is almost up - best of times, worst of times hmmph. It's been real LOL - now who said that?
Off to Tassie for a wedding, rather than sticking around here for a Thai dinner and the rugby tomorrow. Another hmmph - and where is the next international destination Pauly - was just thinking Heathrow for some reason - last time I was there was coming back from Belfast, what a palaver that was - another best of/worst of moment - was better to say bye in person and all, but the COST aargh! Flying over Greenland and Canada in winter was pretty awesome though...
Anyways, back to Tassie thoughts - oh, and three of the five crew on the plane were on the Men of Virgin calendar. Now if only I was tall, rugged and good looking LOL, but for godssake get something better than Kylie Minogue on the PA...
So this is Melbourne - there was a collective groan when we landed and we were told it was only fifteen degrees and overcast. A quick look around the airport - it seems so quiet? The international check in looks like a morgue - whereas with Bris you can see the departees down on the other level - it actually reminds me a bit of Heathrow - the age of the place or something. And watching ten year old Blue Heelers at the moment - just smiling thinking of KW3, a Net friend from Melb, and thinking of who else I know down here - hmm, I could easily catch a cab into town and do something - yeah, with all of my clothes going to Launnie LOL.
