Oh I hate flying

It was a nice day - well cold and overcast - at Bordeaux. The plane was on time. I was sat right by the front door so I had lots of legroom. It was an Airbus A319, and I do prefer Airbus to Boeing. The flight was smooth and I enjoyed looking down through the blue skies onto the coast of Brittany, then Torbay, then the Bristol Channel with Flat Holm and Steep Holm. The landing was very smooth. Everything was fine.

But I just hate flying !

I brought the GPS with me and realised when it said that Britsol Airport to Cardiff was 695 miles that something probably needed reprogramming. I changed its settings and things went a lot better from then on. It had been trying to direct me from Bristol Airport to Cardiff via the Bordeaux Rocade.

I have realised that our masterplan of me contacting the family by Skype using McDonalds free wifi is flawed in that it depends on me finding a McDonalds at the time the family are at home together. Hmm.
