Alas no, as SWMBO has the day off and is threatening to drag me out
to look at cutlery (believe it or not).
The chances of escaping this are less than those of a snowball in
hell.
Tuesday to Thursday look good..

A very good point Kevin as it highlights the absolutely essential
need for clearances to be read back by the pilot (and ATC to listen
to
this) so that errors are trapped.
Any clearance involving a height or heading should be repeated by
the aircraft so both parties are clear about what is going to
happen.

Just online at Farnborough, delighted to see Jerry on the apron as I
logged on. Flightplan to EGNS (home). Winds calm, he was heading for
runway 06.
He called up.
Herein I have to apologise, my performance was poor, I suggested a
heading from 06 which should have routed him direct to NORRY, his
first waypoint. Traffic was light but mostly using 27 at Heathrow.
Diamond 068 took off and turned on a heading which kept him out of
EGLL airspace but on a Northerly heading. I should have asked, but
as I didn't confirm any clearance, I watched as he climbed, still
Northbound for another 10 miles, at which point I wondered if my 300
degrees had been heard as 360 degrees and asked.
Jerry accepted "own navigation" and spent some time travelling West
to regain his original flightplan......Sorry.
This only serves to highlight the need for clearance so that both
parties are aware and can follow the flight progress. I'm still
trying to avoid the pregnant pauses over clearances as I look up the
lesser used ISEC's and Fix's...
Once again apologies offered.
G'day
