Off to Toronto. At Dublin airport at the moment. First time in Ireland.

Why are you in Ireland?

Looked up this Aer Lingus aircraft. EI-DEL, an Airbus A320-214. Which leg of the journey is this for?

Nickslikk2112 · May 30, 2026, 09:26:31 PM

Flight Radar says Birmingham to Dublin.

Nice view of the CN Tower from the room. Nice day here.

You can't get a direct flight from Birmingham to YYZ.

I think I might fly to Birmingham fairly soon. Looks like the simplest way to get to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. There's a Westfield specialist there and I've switched my attention to those as I just can't find the right Caterham. Scotland really is hopeless for such things.

Ashby's only 4 miles from Chez Slim, let me know and we'll go for a beer if you fancy it.

Meanwhile - only a 15 minute walk from the hotel, rude not to. Not that high up on my list of Rush locations. But nice to see. Very quiet there, we had the place to ourselves.

This though, made me a bit emotional when I turned the corner and saw the sign.

Couldn't quite believe I'd come to this place in person. I thought of the very first time I heard All the World's a Stage, one night in December 1976. The countless times since that I immersed myself in this place, especially as a teen. And I'm not embarrassed to say I blinked back a tear.

Toronnno is great.

Expensive beer, but you get what you pay for.

Held my monocular eyepiece to the lens of my phone for a sort of DIY telephoto.
