Next Week
Once again, I’m using up a lot of leave from my day job – partially to keep sane, but more just to use it due to the joy of the financial year coming to an end (which has turned into a classic case of “use it or lose it”.
I’m therefore on the sofa, probably watching Disney+, keeping an eye on aviation stories whilst parachuting myself into the office when things go wrong.

Until then, stay safe, wear a mask as we head in March the 366th….
