15 flights

General


Since January 1st I didn't fly, and from Friday the 15th till July 28th, There will be 15 flights with me on board.
If all 14 before the 15th don't crash.
Custom officers will see me naked again.


This year I have already had 8 flights with a further 7 booked for later in the year and a possible 2 before then. But the 8 and 2 won't add any new countries, the 7 will add 3. Portugal, Italy and France.

wouldnt 15 flights only 'do' 5 darts, as each dart has 3 flights?

there would seem to be only 1 answer to that....!!

I would say, as a Maths teacher (ex), it is great for mental arithmetic skills!

I coudln't decipher "dart@ even with Maryam-Webster dictionary.
Anyway(s), I am nowin Geneve, at the airport whose name in Serbian sounds like a woman.

In three hours I take for Amsterdam.

Hope I'll increase ELO in a OTB tournament, but before this, I'll see Nick Cave live and meet Dutch branche of my family.

1 done, 14 to go.

Darts is a popular (ahem) sport in the Netherlands and England. It's the only sport apart from Sumo wrestling in which there is almost a requirement to be severely overweight (and preferably drunk).

This is a demonstration of how to play:

Not really my type of music, sonhouse. I found it quite boring, but thank you for posting the links anyway. I do like to try listening to new artists every now and then. (Obviously I'm aware he's been around for many years as I have heard of him from various quarters since my schooldays). I like to use Spotify and skip through the songs/pieces I don't like. Then I can save the ones I do to some list for future listening.

Mind your step! Mind your step! Mind your step!
This is the mantra at Schiphol - Amsterdam airport.
Flight No 2 (Geneve - Amsterdam) accomlished - now waiting for the third: Amsterdam - Luqa (Malta).

The Hague was rainy - sunny - showering - cloudy.
Tommorow is the first round.
I am preparing a tread for Chess forum, in which /tread/ I am going to mercilessly dissect my two defeats on first day of Coenhagen tournament where i lost 70 ELO points. (So as to follow Botvinnik's advice to study your own defeats.)
