You know what really makes me happy?

And there the music goes…!!!

William Tell Overture, incredible!

Snow! :grin::grin:

I was told there would be snow where I live… But alas the weather man lied to me

Looks like a large proportion of the UK will have had snow by tomorrow though! You might still get some yet!

Shame I’m working from home… Where I live if it snows leaving the road is impossible so have no excuse for a snow day

I swap my car with winter/summers for the seasons so I’ll have no excuse :grimacing: Unless it gets really deep… :crossed_fingers:

Having the time to visit the liquorice shop in Stockholm Airport - sampling lots of flavours - & getting a free tub when I bought 4 others!

Sad news - shop is closing down at the end of Feb! :pleading_face:

I am very jealous you’re still getting to travel about, even if it’s for work :stuck_out_tongue:

Yep, nice at times - but scrambling around at a Moscow airport terminal to get a Covid test at 2300 hrs isn’t so glamorous! Cheap as chips though, £27 - express service - results on under 2 hrs!!

Testing in case countries play silly b*ggers with the rules at short notice!

Just had a very nice stay in Kiev. St Sophia’s Cathedral - UNESCO World Heritage building - wow!!

War museum collection not bad either! :grin:!

The Motherland statue is massive.

Cat filter… lmfao

Perfect pancake tossing

Defo a top 5 day of the year, pancake day.

I’ve just been vaccinated. The process was exceptionally well organised and efficient, painless and every single person I encountered was polite, friendly and welcoming.

We ruined the start but at least we’re getting one thing right.

Making me happy? Compression socks. I’ve always been sceptical. Now I’m a convert.

Just seen that one of my Cadets has had his Gold DofE Authorised, he has real confidence issues and this is a great achievement for him.

Seeing that confidence boost is one of the main reasons I do this.

Being back in squadron today.

We’ve been told that our building has been approved for a looooong overdue full refurb. The catch, is that EVERYTHING not locked in the downstairs store room when the builders arrive, is going in the skip. So we’ve been Marie Kondoing our inventory, and it was great to see some stuff go. Why are all ATC units like hoarder’s houses?

We had a clear out just pre-Covid and found two boxes full of New Testaments with DPM covers - clearly the camouflage had been too effective.
