Booking a large holiday brings out the smiles. Amsterdam to Budapest river cruise on Scenic then stopping for a couple of nights in Kuala Lumpur on the way back. Was going to do the cruise later in life but some friends booked it so we are joining them which will make it fun.

Yeh, holidays are the best, that's what we work for.

 

Just over halfway through mine and smiled even wider when I got the notification .  (Never flown business class long- haul before, and it's been a bucket list item.)

 





Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

That after more than a year of having a leaking swivel aerator in my kitchen, I finally figured out why. The first one only had a single washer in it, so we used only one. We recently replaced it with another one, which had 2 washers in it. Same make and model. 

 

Still couldn't stop it leaking. Assumed the second box had a second washer for a second type of connector or something. 

 

Turns out need 2 washers and significant tightening. 

 

No leaks. So happy. Stupidly delighted.

Miss 10s netball team won their grade. Of course the one player wearing sunglasses inside at prize giving was the goal shooter. She’s actually a really nice kid but shooters, strikers and rugby wingers are all the same….

I am unsure what the percentage of Air NZ's profits are attributable to their domestic vs international, but I would have thought it would be bigger on the international side.

Competition may crimp their ability to price gouge as much there.
