Hello,

I apologise that I have not transacted with you all for some time (via email that is). I went home to Melbourne for the weekend, and I flew with QANTAS. On the trip there I flew in a DASH 8, a small plane that carries fifty people and adds half an hour of flying time. Unfortunately I left my mobile phone on the plane. On Friday night, and after half an hour on the phone on hold, they finally found my phone at the Tullamarine lost property office (thank you to Simone the flight attendant!).

This photo is from the flight home - this time on a 737. QANTAS has recently updated their food service on domestic flights. Instead of a box with crackers and cheese etc., one gets two cookies - I got a ginger, date and walnut one and a choc chip one which were both delicious! - and a drink as normal, and one gets this wonderful and colourful new 'tablemat'. I give kudos to QANTAS for their new tablemat.

Sandro
