So in my quest to quell some of these demons that I made mention of last time, I took a small step in bringing some finality to one of them tonight.

I finally got my stuff back from my ex. I know it took like four months too long, but it had to be done.

You might think this is a fairly morbid way to start proceedings and I suppose you'd be right but I've always had a weird fascination with aviation incidents/crashes. I am no frequent flyer nor am I a fearful one but the fact remains that the modern plane is both a marvellous piece of engineering genius, and a dangerous piece of machinery when mistreated or not maintained correctly.
