Well that was a long week in TLV, with an extended stay by one day, which meant hitting the IL Holiday Traffic at TLV, and instead of being on BA back to LHR experiencing El Al for the first time in J...
Glad to be home though to the cold and wet rather than dust storms
and a week and a bit off flying

I have 2 weeks off starting this evening, so we're using the time to head off to Darwin with QF, followed by Alice Springs (flying) and Uluru (driving), before heading back to BNE with QF. I really need this break, it's been a difficult few months so with luck I'll switch off and recharge, ready to organise our move from Australia back to the UK.
Champagne on ice...Happy Friday!

A two day trip to Zurich nears its end. Trouble with being in Europe is I still have to work some of my US hours too so meetings until 10pm then a bit of Swiss hospitality and back in the morning on AA's refurbished 767 - not a bad J seat except for the lack of built in IFE and the weirdest table mechanism I have ever seen on a plane.

Debut in 1A
Lucky to have a day off and then a cheeky day trip to London on Saturday with Mr and Mrs P in seats 1A and B for the first time ! This will lead to another first for the FLounge and the champagne.
Happy Friday everyone

On the scotrail train to Dyce for my flight to LHR. It's bad when it's quicker to fly to LHR and have a mate pick me up and drive to Lincoln for a wedding we are attending tomorrow than it is to get a train from Elgin to Lincoln!

Happy RWC Friday. At last the countdown is over (not that you'd have realised based on the lacklustre ITV build up! My 6 wks of rugby mania starts tomorrow in Cardiff @ Ireland vs Canada, followed by a Sunday afternoon at Wembley @ New Zealand vs Argentina. I'm so excited I could burst 😆
Enjoy
Enjoy

No flying for me for a couple of months as today I am having an operation on my ruptured Achilles' tendon. Looking forward to be kept entertained and informed by FT.

Ah, Friday. So this must be Ireland, then!
Yesterday we survived AA/US on SAV-CLT and CLT-DUB, arriving here at 0630.
Friday consists of DUB-LHR, M25/M23 and LGW-JER, finally getting home around 1900 ... And straight to bed!!

Best of luck to the movers and patients above, nothing exciting for me other than more work, next week off to the northern regions for more r&r.

Happy Friday! Sadly no flying until our trip to FCO in another 4 weeks time, but we are having a little night away from home in a nice hotel and have a meal booked just for the two of us. Time to celebrate and wind down a little, things have been insane since I started in my new job in August. The day does also coinside with it being 6 months since our wedding in Las Vegas, can't believe how fast the time is going! And even more celebrations tomorrow as my husband's cricket team won the league they play in, so that could be a big night 
Sunday can probably be written off right now.
