Addis - KC

Last night on my flight to Addis from London I met a interesting individual who I want to laugh at but cannot.

He was in the seat next to me and from the get go I thought something was a titch off. During the dinner service he knocked the crap out of the drink cart and the bottle of red spilled all over him. He was a French dude and he took it pretty good except he was explaining to me that he was slightly embarrassed as the red spilled on the spot on your "trousers" where you are not supposed to spill. So internally I was laughing as it totally missed me.

After dinner service he orders a rum and Coke, puts it on the centre console and I said to myself "Nah, can't happen". 5 minutes later the glass was in the air and Trevor was covered in Coke. There are only a few people I know that could be this clutzy so I had to add the Strange Frenchman to my list.

Raining here in transit to Djibouti in 3 hours.

London was uneventful except I was declined into the business lounge for wearing a hat and shorts. I gave them a sob story about 31 hours of flight time and they felt sorry for me and let me enter. That 7.5 hour layover was long but manageable being sleep deprived and all. Djibouti is 38c right now but will be 34 by the time I get there at noonish.
