How retro is this KLM plane at Schiphol, this afternoon, below? Time for SAA to bring back the orange flying springbok, methinks.

Pilot Sylvie Accident (I kid you not) flew us into Charles de Gaulle and made a remarkable three point landing. Now at Claire de Jong’s on Rue George Sand in the 16th, waiting for Jonathan Steyn to come over from the Marais for oysters and Pouilly-Fume Domaine Couet 2011. Claire’s man James Carr-Jones of Hermes fame only gets back from Boston tomorrow so we might have to delay our trip to Champagne to celebrate the record €2.8 billion profits announced yesterday.
