The second weekend of June was one of a lot of firsts. I flew back to London for the last planned trip of clearing out my house, which I'm going to sell. I don't have the money to properly refurbish it to maximise its rental value -- and so far, I am enjoying my long-planned much-procrastinated move abroad. I don't plan to return any time soon.
I also flew with a new airline to me -- WizzAir, a Hungarian budget operator. Pleasant, cheerful and friendly; recommended. Flying without luggage, or even a jacket, was also a novelty -- it does make life much easier (and a bit cheaper, too, on the budget ones).
I returned for the funeral of my friend Ken Brown. I knew Ken for over 20 years via the medium of CIX, although we didn't meet face-to-face for over a decade. Until then, he was just a giant brain online, an immaculately-spoken quick wit with encyclopædic knowledge of biology, computers and seemingly almost everything.
