It’s the end of another week, where I’ve only had Windows 11 on my mind. Trust me, it’s not a thought you’d want to keep in anyone’s mind.

But onto lighter things, with Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.

Next Week

My summer holiday break is fast turning into an early autumn break, but I’m getting to the point where I can press the hammer down on a fare. and ensue a brand new comedy.

And let’s be honest, some of you come here for the comedy as well as the trip reports.

On top of that, we’ll see what headlines filter out during the summer season, as it continues on its merry way, whilst I swear at Microsoft and the forced upgrade and throwout I have to do.

So until next week, Happy Landings!
