One of the things that I notice immediately is how quiet and empty the FCT is today - I did not expect that at all, given that we are in the peak summer travel period right now.
Often, during this time of day, its hard to get even a table in the restaurant, but today, it's the opposite (not that I would complain), as there are probably less than 15 passengers in total in the FCT. Feels very relaxed and non-rushed today.




It was even possible to get one of these working cubicles, which is quite difficult on other days at 830am - this is my otherwise very often my „home office“ for some hours before a flight - but not today, no meeting at all..



My favourite restaurant employee is also on duty today and we engage in a lengthy conversation about summer travel plans, the special menu that they have up and running since this week (to celebrate the Paris Olympics) and much more. We also know each other for years and his service attitude is amazing. So much, that i.e. my +1 and I make sure to leave a personal Christmas card for him each year and make sure we appreciate his service all the time.

Today, its about of a lighter breakfast, and I order the avocado & salmon poached egg plus help myself to some cereal with yoghurt and fruits from the buffet.





I finish my meal with a croissant and some more fruits, but skip all the heavy stuff (like beacon etc), since I did not have time to hit the gym this morning.
