At the airport in Toulouse waiting for friends returning back from down under (Australia). The flight is running a little late so I can enjoy a hot drink.

The ride to the airport was exceptionally smooth and fast and this despite all the current strikes.

I have to travel 75 miles / 110 Kms from home to get here. A doodle taking around 1 hour if you can avoid the rush hours. I use to live in Paris and London and it used to take me longer to reach the airports for a quarter of the distance. Living in the province has some definite advantages.

Looking at the arrival board, there is a lot of red for delayed or cancelled flights.
