Airplane Track


I see some airplane tracks in the sky. Now the Manchester airport seems to be getting back to normal.

Ash from Volcano-2

My boss came back to Manchester on Saturday from Amsterdam. He was supposed to come back on Thursday however because of ash from volcano his flight was canceled. When he got on an airplane in Japan, nothing had happened. After taking off, he heard the announcement about volcanic explosion in the airplane. It said, “we’re landing Amsterdam without problem however all connected flight will be canceled due to volcanic explosion in Iceland.” At first he thought he would be able to fly next day so he stayed in Amsterdam. However on the next day the situation didn’t change any better. Luckily he has many friends in Europe because of his work. One of his business partners was planning to move from Czech to London by car so he got on a taxi and moved to Brussels to get on his friend’s car there however his taxi was not fast enough to catch up his friend. His friend had already booked train ticket for his car so he couldn’t wait my boss. My boss gave up coming back to UK with him and stayed another night in Brussels. From Brussels, there were still available Euro star tickets for business class so he bought it and somehow came back to Manchester. He spend 600-700 euro for taxi, hotel and train fee. These are not refundable. His luggage from Japan is still trapped in Amsterdam. Even so he is very happy coming back to Manchester anyway.
Manchester airport is still closed. I really wish my friends will come back to Manchester ASAP without spending extra fee.

Ash from a Volcano


So far it's nice weather and I see no ash from a volcano in the sky. It takes only 20minutes by train from my place to the Manchester airport however the airport has been closed and my boss has been trapped in Amsterdam. He isn't sure when he can come back to Manchester.

stuck in working....

Now I'm re-writing my report. Actually I'm trying to re-write my report however there is no progress so far. The problem is that in case I re-write my original report, it would be much easier. My boss modified my report and got some comments from our client and then he just forwarded the comments to me and I have to answer them. It's not fair. I'm struggling to manage my current work...

North Wales

I visited Conwy castle in North Wales. It takes 2 hours train trip from Manchester and the atmosphere is very different. The castle was completed in 1287. Fantastic!
