Sorry to hear you got caught up in the weather madness yesterday. I just enjoyed the show from the comfort of our balcony - simultaneously within view was bright sunlight, white thunderheads, black clouds, a rainbow, and a hail-whitened city - it was awesome!

You didn't miss out on much re the new hot meals - I had one MEL-SYD last week and it was a very flavourless tub of tomato and olive pasta and a tiny chocolate bar.

BTW, a trivial fact for you: the wind must have been a southerly (as I remember it was on Friday - it was damn cold as we headed out clubbing) to give you a relatively quick journey time. The name of a wind refers to the direction it comes from, not the direction it goes in.
