Good morning As you can see in the image immediately above, I’ve made some exciting changes to our French tour this September. Several readers had suggested that instead of an entire week in one place, we consider splitting the tour into half a week in each of two places. While I love the idea of […]
Good morning Many thanks to everyone who sent their opinions in on whether they’d be comfortable flying the Boeing 737 MAX once it returns to service. As promised, your answers have been collated, and I’ve also contrasted them with the answers to the identical question when the 787 was grounded six years earlier. The results […]
Good morning I’m doing things a little differently today. I’m sending out the newsletter as usual, and then I’ll send out a separate article later on Friday morning to make it more noticeable for all. In addition to this newsletter now, there’s a feature article on how to most accurately know if your flight will […]
Good morning I hope your Good Friday is off to a good start, and your Easter Weekend will be spent most pleasantly, including, for the Christians among our readers, some extra time pondering and being thankful for our salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus. If this was New Zealand, we’d all be on holiday today […]
Good morning An unplanned, but interesting (I hope) attached article today, being a review of a third emergency car battery “jump-start” unit. Unlike the two reviewed last week, this one works well and I can recommend it with only a very little bit of “maybe” appended to the recommendation. I’m so pleased to no longer […]
Good morning I hope you had a great April Fool’s Day on Monday. This year, more than previously, I found myself struggling to tell the jokes from reality. For example, this story about a tiny town in Denmark with only 7,000 people being the location for a new 1050 ft tower, to become the tallest […]
Good morning Did you wake up to notice anything different in the world this morning? No, neither did I. It was to be today that saw Britain leave the EU, subsequent to its referendum to do so in June 2016. Notwithstanding almost three years to plan, prepare, and actually implement their departure, they are in […]
Good morning “I’m sorry, I’m having difficulty understanding that right now. Please try again later.” That was the regular response, during the last nightmarish couple of weeks, to my regular morning request “Alexa, turn on David Bed Light”. An intermittent problem with my new Netgear router often meant it had frozen overnight, so when it […]
Good morning Wow, what a wild and crazy week this one has been, with the added dimension, for me personally but I trust not for you, of (hopefully just) experiencing another kidney stone event. These seem to be occurring with increasing frequency. The extraordinarily dysfunctional nature of Obamacare was driven home to me. When it […]
Good morning Happy International Women’s Day. I’ve been struggling this week to write a review on what, in the opinion of many main stream media reviewers, have now become the very best set of noise cancelling headphones out there. As longer time readers know, I’ve been reviewing noise cancelling headphones pretty much right since Day […]
Good morning Another week with a disrupted review – the product I was testing abjectly failed at the thing it was primarily intended for. To be fair, I have to give the manufacturer a chance to respond – maybe it is a bad unit, for example. However, there’s lot we do have this week, more […]
Good morning There’s more craziness this week than I can remember for a long while, and much of it gleefully commented on in the last couple of items below. I prepared a review of a fun little gadget that I’d got prior to Christmas, and was going to present it to you this morning. But […]
