So! How was your day, honey?

The airport tour was really good. I like airplanes anyway. Have done since I was a kid & my dad used to take my brother & me to Heathrow & Gatwick to watch them taking of & landing. Not to mention al the air shows.
But today was fascinating. How they can turn a 777 round in 40 minutes from getting folks off to getting folks on is amazing considering the size of the thing.
They also have a problem with birds of prey that nest in the woods around the airfield. The reason being their's loads of gophers living in the grounds of the airport in the fields around the runways. So the hawks & kites & kestrels & falcons come to hunt them so the staff have to send out a car at certain times with a loud alarm to scare them away.
It was really forking windy up there (the airport is on top of a hill) & we watched some planes coming in, struggling with the cross winds to straighten up before they landed. That was quite cool.
The only downside was that I have caught a cold from standing out in the wind.
But the tour was cool & the guide was hilarious. Although he knew his stuff. (except the 777 isn't the biggest airliner. The A380 is)
