Howdy,

And here I was thinking I've had a bad day.

Left Darwin at lunch time, only to find they decided to stop in Alice Springs to refuel - because of the weather in Melbourne that they couldnt arrive with sufficient reserves for holding.

Then we get to Alice and its 42 degress (hotter than forecast), too hot to take off with the full weight. Sat in the plane for 2hrs while they figured something out.

They decided to go to Adelaide instead of waiting until 6pm (when it should be cooler) - because had they waited, they would have had to swap crew - and no crew in Alice. (And easier to get crew to Adelaide if they werent there...)

Anyway, fingers cross wind does a 180 - I'd do a rain dance here, but not sure it would help... :(
