Partly cloudy and 14°. Takes a time for the house to warm up. Well, this house anyway. Dr this morning for back (me) and ribs (Mme). Then I guess shop.

Thunder rattling around here now, only light, steady rain.

Morning. Clear blue, presently 12c, going up to 21c it is claimed.
At hospital yesterday. Seen on time. PSA was down, consultant please with that, review again early July.
Malaga was very busy, as were the trains.
Off to UK tomorrow. BA (Euroflyer) have put one of the three larger 321 transferred from main fleet at LHR, on fight to LGW.

Good Moaning all,
Warmer over this side all the local wx stations showing 19 - 20c cloudless, seaweed 22c.
Today's challenge is a new kettle, we have a latch failure after 15 years.
2713?

Morning all, touch breezy here today and not as mild as it has been.
Theory is that we could put an A380 on the AGP route and it would still be full, mind you don’t know where we’d put all the golf clubsBA (Euroflyer) have put one of the three larger 321 transferred from main fleet at LHR, on fight to LGW.
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Town done. 100% successful. My driving glasses took 30 mins to fix. New frames required. It is pissing it down. We had to sit at our main gate for 10 mins before Mrs Ex-Ascot could open it. We still got wet but not drenched. CBs all around. It is very welcome of course but clear blue skies for two weeks and a guest arriving on Saturday.

The bigger the aircraft the longer it takes for the SLF to embark and disembark. I'd rather be in the 319 than the 321. Smaller aircraft also fit between the clouds better.
In fact although I don't fly MoLs 738s, they do use front and rear air stairs.

Things are looking better for me at last! Received the formal invitation to return to Japan in mid May, for the first time since Covid hit.
Trip itinerary now booked and paid for! Another three months of flying the Glider tug in Hokkaido, eating great Japanese food, drinking Japanese beer and 'various other pleasures' of life!
Just must remember to look but don't touch!

Very envious Pinky. Last time we visited Japan, D1 was living there and had studied an intensive 12 month Japanese language course, so we were able to get around with our own personal translator. So many great things there, especially (for me) the food.

Sunny day, blue skies with a few clouds and chemtrails, and high haze now.
Price: eggs, large: $9.19 for a box of ten.
Came home to find the Man Who Mows the Lawn doing his job. Booked him to cut back some shrubbery soon.

Morning folks. Two weeks of glorious sunshine now just rain and our friend arrives tomorrow. Good for us but not for her. Got our lawns cut yesterday.

Bon voyage!
First morning in two plus weeks I've awakened to no backache whatsoever. Off to the gym for sauna, nothing else.
