Looks like a nice sunny morning! What time will people be heading for? Just after 11 for me.

The only time I've had problems with them was the time (along with Dave) I stood on the grass verge down by the fence - a security guard came over and asked us to move and invited us to use the car park :)

That's the only time I've had anyone approach me during my time at Ikea. Any time I spot at Ikea now, I still use that bank beside the fence as personally I prefer the views from there rather than the top floor of Ikea, but I guess either position is good.

Yeah was down from about half even to about two when the light was useless! Will try to get some photos cropped up tomorrow after work but if you look at our Christmas eve photos and change the date it's about the same!

Keith, I'm adament that the traffic and lighting should be good from 9am onwards, the lighting should have a nice yellow/red tint to it and the morning rush hour traffic will be in and out of the airport. It's getting out of bed early enough that's the problem!  ;D  Especially over the holidays!

Unfortunately I have to work on Friday (1st) and Saturday (2nd). I would have gone Friday but have to work that so I can have a half day on Saturday to go to Ravenhill for the Ulster match!
 
You're right about the 9am early light! It's even better in the middle of the autumn. Best viewed from the mound at the fence though! I'm just looking forward to Easter for the longer days to be in!

Planning to head over to the City tomorrow morning (weather permitting) if anyone fancies meeting up.
