2PAXfly: Lack of posts

Since there have been a smaller number of posts than usual to the blog this week, and last week, I thought I better explain.

I’m in Adelaide for the Festival, which means I’m out most nights.

If that was not bad enough, I have foolishly taken up some post-graduate study which is proving a little more time consuming than I expected. Term time during my first attempt at a degree was spent fashioning a broadcasting career, and then cramming for the end of term exams. Lectures and tutorials tended to be optional.

Things are very different today, what with remote learning, infuriating continuous assessment and attendance minimums! I have been glued to my iPad for readings, and to my laptop for Zoom seminars and tutorials.

However, I am sampling some of the newly opened hotels in Adelaide, so expect some reviews over the next few weeks.

This is another timely reminder to wear your seatbelt when seated. Holding you close to your seat will protect you from the sort of injuries sustained on this flight, when unsecured passengers flew to the ceiling of the aircraft, and then came crashing down once the ‘drop’ ceased.

The hope will be that this is an anomaly – a ‘freak accident’ in casual parlance. If it is a systemic error either mechanical or electronic, then this is a larger concern for the airlines that fly Boeing Dreamliner 787 aircraft. Let’s hope it isn’t. If it is, it will pile on the woes to Boeing’s existing stack.

Once the festival is over and I fall into an easy rhythm of study, things should get back to normal – well at least a close resemblance. That should be from next week.
