Mixed emotions

Clearly, I am not the only ship adrift on this ocean, as I board another jam-packed Ryanair flight this morning at Stansted Airport. For all their shortcomings, one has to give it to the yield managers of Ryanair for being able to fill a 7 am flight on a Sunday morning to the last seat (considering that anyone staying in central London basically has to get up at 3 am to make it in time). And thanks to how affordable they have made flying, I now have a new piece of East Anglia that I will always carry with me.
