Today it is Grey, dank and about 3.5 degrees centigrade.
Need to work.
Sounds mouldy. Sending hugs:
I have been too rushed off my feet to feel down today. Have barely stopped at all. A brief respite for the next hour or so, then a church meeting, and then a pile more marking and 38 reports (mercifully only short ones).Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

That's how I picked my laptop.
It's lasted the longest of any I've bought, so far. Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Urgh. Don't forget bed by midnight, if that's possible.
Generali, when does your new job start?. Do you a get a little break in between? Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

12:30. Thursday's not a school day for me. Even so, I doubt it.
It doesn't matter. Reports are burdensome when they happen, but they are fleeting things, so they don't really do any lasting damage. Tonight will be blighted by them, but then I shan't have to do any more until after half term.
What I'm trying to say is, school report deadlines aren't the kind of fictional "I will do X when my workload slows down" that never actually happens. You can say "I will do X tomorrow after I have finished my reports" and tomorrow you do indeed have the time to do it.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Ordering 2, with options for 8 more, for possible delivery towards the end of this year. The company itself is being financed by an investment consortium, so I'm in no way doing it alone. I own 1.5% of it.
We need 2 aircraft on order to apply for the AOC.
Possibly at some point in 2017, if it doesn't go so well
I usually think airlines will fail before they've even lifted off, but I think this one has the right mix of destinations, fleet size and aircraft to be able to compete effectively in a very underserved market.
BA, Air France and KLM have all pulled out, largely as they're operating 150 seat aircraft on the route. Pulling it back to basics, an aircraft in 87 seat configuration, offering similar fuel burn and range would (from the figures we've seen) make a lot of difference.
No EU airline is operating the aircraft type, it's one of the most fuel efficient in its class ((in 12 + 75 config) it actually uses 6% less fuel per seat than an A319 in (12 + 102 config)), with similar seat pitch, and it saves on landing fees because (we're using the LR version) it's just under the weight band at most airports. Win-win IMO.
It's not about launching Emirates, it's about making a start.
Good luck CK, but take care. To paraphrase Richard Branson, the fastest way to get to a millionaire is to start as a billionaire, then buy an airline.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Am I right in thinking this is the ideal for you as it is part time so leaving you more time to spend with the family and push forward on the other projects that have been discussed?
I would love to have the confidence to opt for part time working.I think....0
