Lemons - one of the most prevalent sights in this part of Andalucia - on a tree with the Sierra Nevada in the background. The only sunny day of my visit, on the morning before I left. So it goes.

Mood lighting signals sunrise on a 787-10 on the way to Amsterdam. The windows remain tinted letting no light in from the outside. It's a pretty pleasant cabin if you are able to sleep on planes.

A Delta A330-900 waits for me at E pier on a gloomy AMS morning, for the 7hr 22min flight to JFK. The A330 and A350 have this black eyeliner around the flight deck windows; it's very distinctive.

From AMS-AGP last week, somewhere over Spain. Transavia (the Dutch word for 'late', apparently) 737-800.

An A330 NEO for this flight. Another brand new aircraft. The transatlantic legs have all been on shiny new stuff. WiFi not working on this one though. Shame I cannot do any of the work I was totally planning on doing. 😉

When I get home I am going to purchase a clock and send it to Transavia. Apparently they have not heard of them.

Amsterdam is generally a very well thought out airport. Been through here a few times now. The toilets are always spotless and unlike JFK and Newark not spaced 5 miles apart.

Early at AMS for my flight to New York, and onwards to home. This journey started with a late flight from Spain and a little cabin in Schipol, which was fun, if not exactly cheap.

@HebrideanHecate @Gelatinousrube it's odd but I also wonder if he's a bit of a shit and she's trying to make it work and resorted to extremes.

@Flick For a lovely old dear like Pru definitely.

@Flick No as in "try some chocolate chips instead of adding melted chocolate"

I'm watching Pru Leith on the telly at my dad's and she just used the word 'hack' when she meant 'tip'. I am unusually irritated by this.

That feeling when you have a look at Linkedin and see a former boss write about how LLMs mean the end of coding and programming as a job. That now the only thing needed to get working software is to describe clearly what you want, something they were always manifestly incapable of doing

😑

@baldur It would be funny if not so utterly depressing.

Coordinating the return of my missing baggage to an address in Rural Spain is fun. Curiously, the local habit is to use WhatsApp for everything.
