Post 4: Weather interrupted

2:00 am. Freezing fog forecast for France later today. So my plan to visit the Toulouse-Lautrec museum at Albi before it closes this evening followed by a nice glass of Gaillac is stymied. Weather's fine in southern Spain. Where's European harmonisation? We give them our subsidies. They should give us their weather. I blame Ted Heath. And the fact that I don't have an instrument rating. Or a Cessna Citation. The Egyptian army has said it won't shoot protestors. Hillary Clinton wants an " orderly transition" for which read "next dictator please". Game over for Moubarak. Which is good but not soon enough for us (or 87m Egyptians) so we will probably route to the Sudan via Libya next week.  Now there's irony for you. The safest route south from the Med is through Gaddafi's Libya. You couldn't make it up, could you?
