Rain, drama, strategy and six hours of flat-out racing — Barcelona had it all!
Heading back on Ryanair to Euro country. I’ll pay for my Gin & Tonic in my home currency, as Ryanair so kindly “prefers”.
I’m told Carcassonne is serving up the same weather I left behind in London, only with blue sky on top. (Ce n’était pas le cas. Blue sky was cancelled, apparently. Like my faith in forecasts.)
Anyway, cheers to a few excellent days in the English capital! 🥂
PS: Is there anything better than King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Camel and Pink Floyd at 30,000-odd feet with a drink in hand? Be honest. Seven-minute guitar solos finally match the pace of Ryanair boarding.
PPS: Have you noticed I haven’t complained about Ryanair this time? Two of us are sharing three seats, so we can spread out like proper aristocrats. The flight is on time, and the flight attendant is delightful. Someone check the aircraft for a miracle. ✈️
Punctual doctors in France. A kidney stone with a sense of timing. A wine festival pitching its tents just as my long dry spell reaches its most fragile moment. What could possibly go wrong?
Missing volumes, new releases, irresistible temptation… and a monthly audit that would make an accountant weep!

Three months after pre-ordering it, Volume 8 has finally landed. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely! ✈️📖
A week that started with gloom and absolutely nothing planned somehow ended with London, West End shows, good food and a trip to the Pyrénées Orientales.
How did that happen?
