Dragon from Ist taxi in Cirencester brought me to terminal 4 in 90 minutes. The drop off fee is now £7 . The brilliant sun was in our eyes most of the drive but it also heralded a glorious first day of halfterm. Going business class you skip through security on the fast track then breakfast in the Plaza Lounge. That is all worth quite a bit of the ticket. W Misread 1b for 16 so nearly missed flight but they phoned and I had to nearly run, to the other end of the terminal. Then once on we couldn't leave as a missing person according to passenger list. Hope I don't miss connection. Excellent meal of couscous and falafels. Now on board for long flight and set my watch to Panama time which is 8am so about to have another meal. Is that lunch? Nice comfy seat on my own by the window and loo. Will change into Virgin Atlantic pyjamas and sleep.
Just rain and more rain so looking forward to some tropical warmth in Panama next week. Gave up bothering to claim for the punctures. The success rate is so low it's not worth the effort if you haven't got a myriad of photos, measurements, etc. A series of photos of the river and mill stream today 11th Feb. The one with the bridge shows the high water mark in 2023 in Red. Jackdaws My new car.
