Evening, Toots! Well, it's been a day. I'm here in Kingston in Canberra, having had a beautiful dinner at Bui Vietnamese restaurant with my friend, (yum!) a walk around the block to see what's there, a shop at the supermarket, and an icecream (Messina Italian Nougat, after much indecision. Also tasted the boysenberry.)

They do NOT bloody well feed you on planes any more! Qantas has just got worse every flight on this. A packet of "soy crunchy things"(ingredients including bamboo fibre and salt right at the top of the list) and a cold drink on the Toowoomba to Sydney flight; barely time for a wee; then on the weirdly delayed Syd-Canb flight, a cold drink, and a "snack": prepackaged squirt of "guacamole" with 4 soggy mini corn chips and 4 teeny slices of Chipotle cheese. But hey, the packaging says proudly IT'S VEGETARIAN!!

I ate my muesli bars I brought from home but next time I'm bringing a Bento Box.

@caity yea I bring my own food for most flights now and ignore any policies about eating outside food. Bamboo fibre is a new low for snacks though. Hello panda Caity!

I was flying from Perth to Melbourne with Qantas last year and was offered a hot thing stuffed with the one ingredient I'm allergic to.

At least my bags made the journey. That's above average for my record with Qantas.

@ewen I watched my bag go into the hold of the plane, and yet
... somehow it was still such a relief when it turned up at the other end.

@caity Not good enough! Glad to hear Bui was good. Welcome to Ken Behrens country darls!

@sister_ratched Ta, Darls! Definitely not good enough on plane food, but Bui Vietnamese restaurant was lovely, just what I needed after a long day, and pretty well priced.
Also, that sculpture outside the airport! Wow! 😲 I love it!

@caity The Jetsons? It's my very fave bit of public art hereabouts. Was it moving?

@sister_ratched This one! Wow! "Perception and Reality" by Andrew Rogers. The blurb says it's Australia's largest cast figurative bronze sculpture.

@caity Oh, I haven't seen that one! Wow...
