Also a reminder to everyone who wasn’t at the dinner last night that next years’ Ozfest (the 19th) will be in Hobart.

anat0l and I have made it to the VA lounge - trust Bundy Bear and rabau made it to QF.
Got a window seat over the gates so watching the aircraft movements
Lucky we aren’t going to SYD, as they have just cancelled two flights. Audible grumbling from pax in the Lounge

For those still in Melbourne and would to look around while stating mainly dry there is the Melbourne Museum in the Carton Gardens and, perhaps for something more eclectic, the Australian Centre of the Moving Image at Federation Square.

A small group of us attended the Saint Kilda Saints v North Melbourne Kangaroos AFL match at Marvel Stadium.
Was fun to explain the myriad of rules as the game was going.
Thanks to serfty for organising and buying the tickets.

Got stuck in a locked alleyway leaving the Airbnb, luckily another resident was able to get me back in the building so I could use the correct exit. I would have been stuck until 6 and miss my flight.
Luckily I made it to airport and was put on earlier flight. Departures lane is huge and expedited is closed. Was I supposed to use different security line for one world emerald?

Looks like you were on same flight as me. Security at syd intl took about 30 mins. Look for me in the QF F lounge at SYD - here now.
Express lane has been closed for the past 2 years.

My turn
Oh dear ...
I started getting flu-ish feelings just before midnight.
Broke out a RAT this morning.
Anyone in contact with me over the weekend should carefully monitor for COVID symptoms ...
