🇳🇿 Today’s plan is to spend a big chunk of it in Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand.

🍷 Time for a pinot noir. When in New Zealand and all that.

✈️ Breakfast in the lounge before my flight to Wellington, New Zealand, for a few days. Was last there nine years ago.

🎧 Charging all of the things ready for my flight tomorrow. Have to make sure the Kobo and the noise cancelling headphones are good to go.

Spent a lovely afternoon relaxing in the local park beside the river with some friends. A few games of uno, talked about nothing in particular, had some snacks, played with some puppies. A pretty great afternoon as things go.

🙎‍♂️ Waiting for my “I’m awake naturally by 6am” niece to get up so we can go get coffee. It’s 8:30am.

Flying is one of my favourite things.

A Virgin Australia plane taxiing off the runway at Sydney airport. A grass verge and signage indicating directions visible in the foreground.

Old mate in my seat feigning ignorance he was in the wrong seat. It’s business class, there’s only an aisle or a window and if you’re flying business you know how to read a seat number 🙄

🛩️ Time to fly (Part 2)

The cabin manager on my first flight had me clocked “you look like you’d appreciate a top up of your wine”.
