Good afternoon everyone or good morning!
Currently a steamy 31°C , cloudy with sun peeking through and humidity extremis!
Saturday morning FBG was ok-ish at 6.0, which I followed with 45 mins on the static bike in the bathroom listening to Swing Out Sister and belting BreakOut at the top of my voice (sorry neighbours). A full English followed (I stared at the toast and left it after sniffing it more than once).
Getting home is looking interesting - No direct flights to UK; Air France not operating; KLM maybe via Thailand (stay on plane, Amsterdam to Heathrow); Eva Air to LA, shuttle to SFO, meet folks, maybe and BA home: possible to Singapore and Singapore Airlines back or Cathay to Hong Kong then either Chicago or New York (London not operating) and back. Maybe. Sometimes the flights go, sometimes not. If I transited via the Gulf, that's 10 days locked up near Heathrow. And I need to avoid mainland China this trip - not that it matters - can't get there anyway...
Thankfully, I have a team working on it - and it changes daily. The other option is to stay 4 days longer and hitch a ride back to Farnborough as an exec jet is heading this way from California, empty to UK and then across the Atlantic with others to New York and onto San Francisco...Covid is just a mess... I think I'll wait 4 extra days...what would you guys do?
Lunch on the terrace was sashimi, soup and bits...followed by book reading (Le Carre)...
It's 1530 now...and I think I'll watch some BBC iPlayer or do more work before checking in with the family...see how the Dr to be is as she heads to her final exams; say bon voyage to daughter 2 who is off across the Atlantic at the controls of her C17 to Canada (first trans Atlantic flight as a pilot) and find out what car MrsBRS has chosen... and say hello to the animals Arthur the poodle and Gerald the Maine coon!
Have a splendid Saturday one and all!
