Easyjet flight 2052

Take off over the Juras

It was a routine take off from Geneva airport. We departed in a westerly direction with the lake behind us and the Juras to our right. There are still pockets of snow on the Juras but the clouds prevented me from seeing the full extent of the lingering snow. It has been a really cold spring and the summer warmth is struggling to take a hold.

It was that limbo situation with fond memories of what we have left behind and the tension of settling back into work ahead of us with absolutely nothing we can do to prepare for it. Once above the clouds, the sun was streaming through the window but there was misty cloudy below preventing me from having a good view.

Good old Easyjet

The plane was by no means full with plenty of spare seats, and even rows of seats, at the front. I had submitted my hand luggage to the hold so that I only had my man bag and rain jacket in the cabin - so convenient. I ordered a chicken soup and a J2O from the stewards and relaxed with a good read for the rest of the flight - getting used to what you can do on an iPad without wifi.

Back on terra-firma and been to ASDA for the weekly shop. It feels strange not to use €Euros or Swiss Francs.

I played badminton and eased my way back in this evening. Then I played Greg Cunningham at squash and gave away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 but the games were really close so no disgrace there. I felt really fresh throughout. Also, I'm pleased to say that my AirPrint facility on the iPad is working again having changed over routers.
