Thirteen - 13

I was flying to Helsinki in April, Friday the 13th. When I checked in Online, I found my seat number was 13F. When I reached the airport, the gate number for the flight was 13. Ominous?

Lucky for me that I think 13 is my lucky number.

Then I pondered on this a little longer. The flight was full, so all of us were fellow travellers who must have believed 13 was our lucky number, and more so me and other 5 travellers in Row 13, than anyone else.

So much for 13!

Quick trip to Helsinki

I took the Blue1 flight at 09:15 to Helsinki (€ 54 was return fare!). It was bitterly cold, -32 C, and with the slight breeze, it was about -38 C. Helsinki was like summer as the temperature was just -8 C. Finished work and got back to the airport by 15:00 hours; flight at 16:40 and home by 18:00. Temperature was still hovering around -28 C but as it was not windy, it was bearable. Hope the temperature starts to rise and we hope it is sunny bright days ahead.
