The emergency exit slide of a Boeing plane operated by Delta Air Lines that fell off mid-air reportedly washed up at the home of a lawyer already suing the aircraft manufacturer. New York attorney Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed a lawsuit against Boeing around the Alaska Airlines door plug blow...

Bad news. I know it's obvious but some kind of therapy should be started immediately. Off to Paris for a conference next month. It's my least favourite city in Europe and travelling up on the ludicrously expensive TGV means exposing myself to the bed bugs and locals-infected, not to mention thieves,...

Morning all. Dry out, rain on its way.. Had ultrasounds on my prostate for years: was always told everything ok. MRI said otherwise. Wishing you the best if luck!

Rumbley night. No flashes, no rain. Marlene the Cat didn't come for my night walk ....

I see from a recent survey that the majority of Tory voters want Boris Johnson back as PM. Unbelievable.

7am, no sign of daylight, heavy rain and forecast indicates will continue for 48 hours non-stop. I'm hoping for 50% in the reservoirs by next week instead of 11%.

Yeah, hope the bedbugs are trained.....

Ex-A, I'm currently juggling Paris hotel reservation and train tickets for a conference next month. Hotel has doubled in price since last year. Receptionist is talking to the manager to get me a better rate. Then on to RENFEs stupid website for trains....

Did nobody else here watch the Red Roses' splendid victory yesterday ? I'm not one for watching sporting events but that one was superb and for once they had worthy opponents. Six victories and three grand slams in a row. Great stuff, ladies.

Pouring, and will continue until Friday. Very necessary after year(s) of drought.

Reading today's Financial Times regarding the manufacture and sales of Chinese Cars, makes me think Tesla wil no longer exist in ten years time

Our 18 month drought may have ended: a week of rain and storms forecast. Plan InundCat activated for inundations in Catalunia.

Just spent £106 on a grade A1 reconditioned HP Mini desktop from Morgan, running WIN10. Appears to have been reconditioned by HP. No junkware. Replaces my ancient XP desktop with three hard drives: well, not exactly replaces, more parallels. Hated it at first, now made friends with it. The third PC/...

Only one pee in the night. Yippee ! Getting back to my normal state of dehydration.

French ATC on strike. Yet again.

They came from far away to our defence. Mostly forgotten in Europe. Should not be. R I P to those brave men and women

Night walk over. 450kms so far since January 1st. Wind dropped, thank heavens. Full Moon. Nice.

Not a good start to the day. Put my tea mug down half on, half off the cork coaster on my bedside table. It fell off, flooding the table, floor - and my pajama trousers. I was enjoying it, too.

Actually Catalans start work early but take a long breakfast break from nine to ten. This leads to the phenomena that if you want to speak to your bank manager or lawyer without his secretary knowing, you must meet him in the cafe where he always takes his breakfast.
