Happy Friday! Ready for some out-of-office time in Greece! Yay!.... but (screech of brakes), just had an email from BA to say our BWI-LHR flight has been cancelled and have been rebooked on 'the next available flight' - DCA-BOS-LHR tomorrow. Ugh.

Happy Friday. Just had AY (Finnair) Post 40 TP and 1196 Avios to my BA Account for a flight that I did not book, pay for or travel 😀. My booking was ARN to HEL. I got the TPs and Avios for that flight. However since the flight originated in BGO via ARN to HEL same flight number, I got TP and Avios from BGO to HEL 😀
Happy Friday all! Greek islands for a week from tomorrow.... and flying from T5 rather than LGW as well. What a result 👍🏼
Now fewer than 100 TPs from requalification.. will be fewer than 60 TPs by the end of the week.

Happy Friday everyone,
Quiet week for me, spent it working to earn my pay in order to fund more holidays :-) and got my GUF2 for a future trip.
Will spend the rest of day booking ferries between Singapore and Malaysia and organising Raffles to pick us up from Changi when we visit Singapore next month.

Continuing to be one of the coldest May's on record here with much lower temperatures than usual. At least this week has been dry allowing the soya harvest to continue.
The supermarket had a 4 for 2 offer on Guinness yesterday which I gladly accepted.

I might have a glass of red tonight. But asides that, it's stretching and exercise to get me through this one. Haha. How times change.

A belated Happy Friday post; exchanged on our parental home for probate
Much stress and had to be tougher than expected and set a deadline !
All good in the end
Now a bit sad to say goodbye to our family home of 50 years

Happy weekend all. Pension day today, so mrs rapidex took me off to Big C supermarket. I spent half the afternoon pushing a trolley around, but at least the 2 feidge freezers are now fully stocked. Domestic drudgery is not really my thing. At least I got to sit with a couple of Changs and some chicken on a stick before she was ready to go home. Good luck to alex67500 on the jobs front. No longer a problem for me, but in the past been there done that.
Can I seek refuge at your house rapidex? I promise I will bring you Chang On another note, this past week’s trip nets me my GUF2, so at least cheers to that
Sorry to hear of the job situation, alex67500 - I hope everything works out to your advantage!

I cannot stand grocery shopping either. And to make matters worse, the wife just brought durian back from Rayong and every time I open the fridge it stinks so badly! Can I seek refuge at your house rapidex? I promise I will bring you Chang
On another note, this past weeks trip nets me my GUF2, so at least cheers to that

Mrs rapidex walked past the durian without buying any, much to my relief. When you come bring Leo's, Changs are easy to get here

Friday went well for us. iWife had a 2-unit blood transfusion, and medical prognosis is highly promising. And our road is open again, thus avoiding a 2.5 mile detour to get back to within 150m of the house! More holiday planning back on the agenda! 😎
