Oh LBA, how I miss you? I spent about 5 years commuting in and out.
Alternating between Schiphol and Frankfurt, usually west from Schiphol and East from Frankfurt.
You were never home until you actually got on ground at LBA
Only place I've ever been really anxious on landing. Daft place to build an airport. Couldn't decide what was worse, fog, snow or wind.

Stories abound of planes diverting not because of the landing but rather the planes crew adraid they would not be able to take off subsequently.
Another kitchen disaster late last night. Wrnt to retrieve a mug and it caught an overlarge dinber plate. Two plates and two cups broke. Tape measure to be put in use buying new dinner plates to ensure they are of a cupboard freindly size.

I can imagine that. One foggy morning the pilot announced that ground control claimed to see him through the murk. His reply was that he couldn't see them so we were off to Teeside and a bus ride.

It was a joke that when they started mowing the grass every week was when they called it LBA International.

Oh dear for the plates.

Is the Chevin Lodge still there?

I forgot to inform the forum that yesterday I swept and mopped all the floors in the flat.

Today I am making flapjack.

Pre work walk around the block turned into a during work time walk around the block🤔

Rain has stopped so damp underfoot but nice IE no wind and not too cold

First cuppa went down well earlier.

The long awaited railing is meant to be going up today

Indeed. I will test it as soon as it has cooled.

Good morning from an 8th floor hotel room in damp and drizzly Sheffield. Today's view is of an ugly office block.

Breakfast has been had and enjoyed so I've got about half an hour to rest and let it settle before heading off to the train station for the trip southbound to Brighton. Should be a quieter evening than yesterday.

I read in the Guardian that BBC content is available via BBC.com where there is the BBC Select streaming service. Though how many US citizens would have followed the scheming of the pineapple Pinochet on the BBC instead of on domestic news is another question.

I would, altho I refer to him as The dime store Mussolini.

Mango Mussolini also seems to be a popular variation on the Mussolini theme.
