Our flight from Birmingham to Milan left one hour late because the snack trolleys needed to be unloaded "due to the fact that the aircraft was too heavy".
That's a new one. So no snacks for us, then.
I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life". I'm certainly not there yet. There is quite some way to go!
