TUESDAY 

Got up a little late around 6:20.

My breaky was oats & nuts microwaved then added yoghurt.

After we arrived at Perisher, Chris went and joined James and Henry and Frank & Phoebe went upstairs at the Ski tube terminal for a coffee and chat. 

Phoebe and Frank did a run down front valley before venturing off on an expedition that included the Wentworth and then the Lawson T-Bar and the Leichart chair lift. 

Lunch in the sun sharing a table with Cas and Olive. Outside Jax looking up front valley. 

Frank then went off on search of J H C and located them at mid station. A couple of runs round to the Leichhardt chair.  Joined by Morgan and Joan. 

Back to the centre and Phoebe and I did a couple of runs before heading in. Phoebe and I had two Aperol Spritz. Jemma and Max joined us for two bowls of Nachos.

Burley Griffin ParkRun

Burley Griffin parkrun results for event #486. Your time was 00:37:12. Two minutes off your 17mile rocks pb but acceptable given you were coughing up phlegm.

Congratulations on completing your 78th parkrun and your 1st at Burley Griffin parkrun today. You finished in 252nd place, just after a little kid and a grandma, way behind your brothers James Von Stieglitz and Henry Thomson out of a field of 352 parkrunners. You were the 136th male and came 8th in your age category VM60-64. 

Phoebe Antonieff Mitchell took awsome photos.

Tidbinbilla

Henry drove us to Tidbinbilla.

There was a strong video presence on Artimus. It was made before the recent flight but it got me thinking I need to brush up on the current status of space flight and the various launch vehicles. 

This is a monunent to Voyager.

We went to the visitor centre.

6:20 Depart

Fletch drove Phoebe and I to the airport.

After bag drop, we joined a huge queue for security. A very officus woman was giving weird and loud  instructions to the crowd and her work mates. Lots of eye rolling.

In the queue we chatted by phone with Graham and Mel, who were at the virgin end of they'd terminal and eventually gave up on the idea of meeting for coffee. 

Gate 1 has it seems, a better than average support presence - It had three Qantas staff manning a [help?] desk, a newsagent and coffee shop. No queue. 

After a black coffee which I found refreshing but was not too Phoebe's liking, we queued for a bus. In such situations I imagine the bus going rogue and just driving us to Canberra. 

Alas it was straight to the plane. 

On board experience was on par with expectations.  

There's always a catch when you get something really cheap. 

Had to work to fly.

a lovely chat with the pilot.  He's based in Brisbane and this is a lifestyle job. Today only a down and back.
