Re:

Yes I saw it on the news - pretty wet here on the Pittwater overnight but I think it’s stopped. My daughter put out a load of washing last night because rain was expected today, then it poured at night! They have a toddler and a baby and no tumble dryer. I’d be going nuts!

My eldest Son lives in Wagga and they are cut off from the floods.

Re:

I can relate Kabu .. dreadful queues at Heathrow for both check-in and security, no one seems to care about customer service any more and the whole business is exhausting, especially on your own.  And it’s been raining again!

Re:

I don’t think I can do it too many more times Taps, it’s exhausting and all the pleasure had gone out of flying these days with all the cost-cutting measures - too tedious now

I have sort of made the decision that I can't go back to Astralia again.I am 77 and not very well and the cost and the terrible business in the airports these days is just too much.my last couple of flights nearly put me into a hospital. i became so exhausted with the inneficiency everywhere.i had a wheel chair but had to leave it and run to my flight departure lounge. it had been changed but no one came for me. Enjoy seeing family and say hello to dear Sydney for me.

Hi.  I guess you are doing well if you are doing long flights.  I gave up flying about ten years ago.  But then, I'm quite a bit older than you.
