Leaving Brussels for Spain. After the Valentino show last night, I drove back to Belgium. Stopping at a petrol stationon the way to call the girls at Syndey morning time to wish them a happy birthday. So now, after not much sleep , travelling again 
very low cloud at Brussels today 
once through that low grey muck, sunshine, feels good on my face 
somewhere over France ( don;t ask me where, west side, is about as good as I can give :-) 
French/Spanish border coming up, that'll be the Pyrenees 
winter time, so snow on the mountains 
but I was expecting to see more snow than this,wonder if this is normal or a bad "season" for ski-ing this year ? Anyone ? 
felt like a sliughtly sharper and more sudden turn to the right, so I look out 
just in time to see a plane flying past, it going at 700odd kms an hour, this plane i'm on at about the same speed, so that's an object going past at what looks like 2000km an hour :-) 
but a bit close I think, wonder what the rules are on that, like, the minimum FAA recommended distance ? 
well that was close, anyway, we must be somewhere near San Sebastien 
woauw, another one ! ? 
what's that about 
I have a feeling we are in the vicinity of Pamplona 
more the distance of other planes in the sky I'm used to 
snow on mountain tops near Madrid 
I guess now descending into Madrid 
nice light 
towns outside Madrid 
hmmm, not sure if I want to get my oranges from this grove, next to that big factory
