Another week of seeing Windows Out-of-the-Box experience hasn’t done much damage to me… Well, maybe.
It’s still Saturday evening, and I’ve got a can of slimline pre-mixed Gin and Tonic, so it must be time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
As we come to a year since the Commonwealth Games were held in Birmingham, The Raging Bull (Also, known as Ozzy) is rising at Birmingham New Street Station.

Next Week
Things at Economy Class and Beyond have been… busy recently. Too busy, if I’m honest.
As things start to go back to normal next week, I’m hoping to start pushing things back into a more normal routine, as there’s a trip report I’ve got to push out, as well as well.
And that’s on top of the news (which I might finally get caught up on too).
Until then, Happy Landings!
