As we near the end of September, the colder, longer nights are drawing in, and I’ve been spreading germs like a good person should do.
It must be time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
Number 11. Somewhere deep in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham
It’s been a week of drugs, lucid dreams and enough Windows 11 laptops to make a person sick. So par for the course. At least I had a day away from my normal line of work… the first really since April.
Yes, this year has gone to whatsit. And I’m sat slap-bang in the middle of it. But onto more comical matters

Next Week
With a ticket to somewhere in my hands, I’ve got to do a lot of prep to ensure I meet flights, have hotels and all the usual things that make travel so much fun.
And it hasn’t helped with one company not playing their part in the bargin already..
On top of that, between laptop handouts and 2 am lucid typing periods, we’ll have news, views and whatever crosses my desk.
Until then, stay well and happy landings!
Now… where did I put my cold drugs….?
