The Festive Season seems a long time ago already, spring's (hopefully) on its way, Valentines' Day just around the corner and thoughts of holidays to be booked. We've booked a week in Corfu for the middle of May which will see the good lady and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

Ha ha lads, yes she does. She thought I was going to book a week in Cornwall, still nice of course but the accommodation prices for a cottage were unbelievable. Corfu was an extra hundred quid but mid May temps of mid 20s centigrade and seafood for a week clinched the deal.
Incidentally, we booked it through easyJet holidays, flight, transfers, seat choice, baggage charges and apartment. All that was only marginally more expensive than just the flights had we done it all independently.

A bit late but I got off to a great start to the year thanks to the four days in Italy which netted me a fistful of overflights, everything else was from home. The high BIZ total was mainly due to the comings and goings to/from Davos
Totals were
BIZ - 40 JETS - 70 PROPS - 6 MIL - 1 GA - 5 HELIS - 10
TOTAL - 132 FRAMES

Fri 10th The day's sightings reflect a day in stark contrast to the last few, only seeing anything below the cloud base, so no complaints at three in the book. The last one especially pleasing as not showing on radar so a combination of old and new school spotting skills required (ie snagged a photo of it and looked up the deets on the internet).

Took the opportunity to get my log for Zurich upto date and I potted 123 frames/scrapes which meant my total for January was a very nice 190 frames/scrapes.
