TFIF again...last week was a killer with a long trip back from IAH to BNE in Y on Friday - combined with a hangover it was not fun! This weekend is a little better...running in the 10k Bridge to Brisbane on Sunday so that should be fun 
. No flying for a few weeks until a trip to the Red Centre and Darwin in about 3 weeks.
Happy Friday wherever you are, and safe travels...

Happy Friday all (GMT-wise). Daughters arriving tomorrow from the UK, so a few days of doing not a lot. Weather looks decent - with Hurricane Erika still to the south of us - and likely to stay that way. :-)

Usual cloud here in scotland, rubbish summer. Forecast for next week? More cloud and a bit o rain. Sunday night looks clear, hope it stays that way so i can get the celestron out and find some deep sky fuzzies. Finally have another flight booked, ex dub j to gcm with 747 64k to mia (took over the later aa 77w as i like a longer layover at mia to visit shulas for a hoegaarden or 6, the little things matter!); hop to atlanta in j/f and my first ever paid tatl f sector atl-lhr and hop back to glasgow. 2k for all that seemed a decent deal to me, esp as it is direct lhr-gla on return. Returning to dub was 200 quid cheaper but forced atl-lhr to J and of course no dub-gla needed. Result! I did chicken out this time of same day flight to dub with ei for the outbound so a bit madly going to go 24hrs earlier than i usually do. In reality i just got spooked for some reason about november weather even though ei never failed me in awful weather all last winter for same day positioning! Right, feel better now that is off my chest, next patient!

Friday in the UK! About to embark on a crazy two weeks of travel. Out to PHL on Sunday, before moving onto YYZ then back to LHR before short trip out to TXL the week after. In the middle I've got guests visiting all the way from PER, and somehow I need to keep on top of my regular work load!

Scorching here in Podstrana Croatia. Enjoying the shade and beautiful sea view while indulging in a lunchtime pint bargain 17kn. I could be here for quite a while! The only thing missing is sand! I'm not a big fan of pebble beaches however idyllic.
Happy bank holiday weekend. Cheers

Just got home from a week in USA where I managed to sneak in a TP run. The 240 TPs have posted this morning from four AA flights on Wednesday so if all goes to plan I will achieve gold for the first time in just over two weeks.
Happy Friday!

Not a good Friday.
Next door's terrace is draining into my garage.
BIL has just been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Hurricane ERICA heading for SAV in time for our arrival next week.
Have a good weekend, folks

Sorry to hear that T8191. My best to you and your BIL.
Looks like TS ERICA will just be a bit of wind by the time she reaches the carolinas, so chin up

We haven't met before but I feel I know your online personality well enough to be sending some FT hugs your way, T8191.

Good Weekend to all.
