By the time you are reading this, I will likely be flying somewhere at around 10,000 metres, because humanity still has not invented effective human teleportation, and therefore I am forced to suffer the indignity of blasting through the skies in a pressurised metal tube for absolutely no good reason whatsoever.
As you may have gathered, I AM NOT A FAN OF FLYING. Well, I should correct that slightly – I am not a fan of heavier-than-air travel. If they ever bring back zeppelins, then that strikes me as a properly civilised way to go about such things, but as a general rule I am an absolute believer that the best way to travel is over terra firma. And, honestly, the firma, the betta.
I have had far too many experiences of air turbulence – to include flying at the edge of a cyclone that forced our flight to divert to Rangoon – to be particularly happy about flying. It is not an experience I enjoy.
That being said, perhaps it is the experience of sharing the flight with other people that bothers me. There is nothing quite so miserable as having to sit in a packed aircraft full of sweaty grumpy annoyed people – especially the ones who bring screaming children with them. God has not yet seen fit to invent noise-cancelling headphones capable of screening out that particular annoyance.
I have, as it happens, flown on a private jet – once. The circumstances were not very happy – we had to evacuate a country with no idea when, or if, we might ever return – but the experience has much to recommend it, I must say.
Anyway, enough of my moaning for a while. The fact is, I am off to a wonderful and amazing country, and I am really looking forward to it. So, let me leave you with the lovely lady for the week.
This here is Ilona Bugayeva (Илона Бугаева), age 26 from St. Petersburg, Mordor. She is something of a cosplayer, as you can probably tell from her very heavily edited, enhanced, and Photoshopped images, but she has quite a lot to recommend her nonetheless. Just be aware that her Thot Quotient is almost surely on the radioactive end of the scale.
As always with such ladies – look, don’t touch.
Happy Friday, all.

wearing a merkin on your hip is certainly an … interesting … choice. one might say, AI levels of quality.
That girl is so photoshopped I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s a chicken.
I am kinda the opposite. got my license when I was twenty. been flying for 30 years…if I could afford it, I’d buy a jetpack.
Damn, she’s actually a real girl.
