It's not all it's cracked up to be

Travelling for work, that is. Sounds glamorous when you say you are going interstate for work. But what it really means is a 4 hour flight (to Perth - and 5 hours on the way back) which puts you two hours behind, and you just feel tired the first day, and even the next day and the next. (Too tired to knit much even - just to give you an idea of how tiring it really was!!) And combine it with giving 3 x 1-1.5 hour presentations each day and the fact that this is the only experience you have of daylight (ie looking out the window of the office you sit in - not that I'm complaining about the view) and you know, it's not that much fun.

But I did get to sleep in a humungous bed and have room service banana pancakes for breakfast: And freebies:
(albeit slightly big ones - what is it with fancy hotels - the bathrobes are for skinny minnies and the slippers are for bigfoot! Hmph! But there, I was trying to show a positive and ending up being critical again. Bit of par for the course for me lately!)

Tomorrow, to Melbourne. Just for the day though. Think I shall have to start lobbying Qantas or the CAA to change the rules about knitting on the plane. Have had this rant before but still can't believe that you can knit on US flights but not on Australian ones!!

On a brighter note, and just to bring this post back to the title, had a lovely day yesterday knitting with some good eggs (as my mum would say), which is clearly all and more that it's cracked up to be. Heh!
