flight radar

How cool is this? Melbourne airport’s website has a live “radar” view of all flights coming into and going out of the airport so you can see exactly how your flight that you are interested in is getting on.

I’m absolutely knackered after 4 days of training and having to use my brain.

The first few days were HBDI related with the second day being particularly hard work.  We then took what we had learned and did two days of presentation skills training.  Out of it all I have three DVD’s showing a meeting and two presentations.  They should make for interesting viewing, maybe even for Vic! 🙂

That’s all really – I’m in the Air New Zealand lounge in Melbourne looking forward to getting home. Unfortunately the flight doesn’t get back to Wellington until 12:20 in the morning 🙁

Hello from Melbourne. As is usual I awoke at silly o’clock on my first day in Oz and this time decided to get out and about early to get the blood pumping. I was out of the hotel at about 6am and thought I’d take a few photo’s.

These are all handheld at very slow shutter speeds and edited (well, resized) on my work laptop so I have no idea what they really look like.

I’m sitting here on Saturday after watching the Hurricanes lose in the semi-final of the Super 14 thinking that I should really start packing.  I’m off to Melbourne for a week tomorrow and have a full day planned from 09:30 until I get on my plane at about 15:00 so don’t have a lot of time to pack in the morning.

Unfortunately I still have to:

  • Sync my iPod
  • Make sure I have some books on my Sony reader
  • Make the bed
  • Pack
  • Decide whether or not to take my 30D and if so what lens to take (probably my 28mm)

Oh well better get off my chuff.  Have a good week everyone and I’ll twitter if I can 🙂

I have no idea what he was thinking but as I was taking pictures of Max’s black eye Elliot said I “had” to take a photo of him. The messy face is due to the fact that he was in middle of eating vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate sauce….

So even though Max didn’t take his scooter to school yesterday he still managed to get in the wars.

Boy + boy + scooter = this 🙂

even more teeth

This post was written by Marc in the category(ies) Max No Comments »

Just a quick entry to say something I had forgotten to say.

Max now has four adult teeth! Two molars came through last week and so now he has the two bottom front teeth and two completely new top molars at the back.
