Originally on my list today: Writing up the re-watch notes for TI episode 2. But hey, incoming news are much more interesting. Apart from half a shirt in an IG post from last night, as reported by Servetus HERE, Mr A is apparently happily travelling and making jokes. See evidence below:
That’s how the upper crust flies 😂. And hello Mykita! So here we have a little bit of presbyopia in action. I think the Neighbour!Richard canon has just received another boost.
Sad truth: I blew up that fuzzy smartphone picture to life-size because I wanted to find out whether RA’s most savoury bits – the salt-and-pepper temples – have been dyed black again. Result: Inconclusive. Too much shade. I suspect, however, that they *have* indeed coloured over him. And sorry, but Team Stubble is not happy. Let’s hope that this is just down to a break in the filming schedule…

Obsessive? Me? Surely not. I just like happy smiles, that’s all…
Phew – that gives me a little more time for my TI review. Coming tomorrow.
Over, and fangirl out. 😍
Private jet? Wonder where they’re flying from and to?
Cutrt smile though 😊

Oh, a private jet didn’t occur to me. Was thinking more of First Class – those cubicles… Definitely a cute smile. It’s always so nice to see him with a genuine laugh.

Sticky beak me would like to know where he’s going!! A break? Or a change of location? (I can’t recall if there was a flight in the book *sigh* I only read it a month ago)

Well, the picture was taken by Harlan Coben – so if it is not the cast moving locations, then it could be the two of them flying to NY, I guess. Isn’t that where Coben is usually based?

Haben die zwei denn allein zu zweit in NY vor? Arbeit oder Vergnügen??

Jou, das war die Frage. Ich dachte ja, dass die zufälligerweise beide am selben Wochenende nach NY wollten – RA, um seine Wohnung aufzulösen und Coben, weil er da wohnt. Aber angesichts der nicht gerade bescheidenen First Class Preise (£9450 one-way!!!! 😱), könnte ich mir auch gut vorstellen, dass das dann doch eine Dienstreise war.

Du, ich geh davon aus, dass First Class für Promis (auch von seinem Kaliber) Standard ist. Man kann ja nicht erwarten, dass ein sensibler Künstler da in der Holzklasse mit Hoi Polloi zusammen sitzt. Oder in Business, wo ja heutzutage auch schon jeder Dritte dank Airmiles upgradet…

What a smile! Definitely inspires a “meeting on a plane” fantasy scenario. (Although I think that a smile that wide, at least on him, is reserved for someone he’s gotten to know fairly well.) I may have to try first class sometime just to get an idea what it’s like! Having just been on a plane with my leg having to touch my neighbour’s for 5 hours, individualized seating is something I’d enjoy — unless of course the other leg in question belonged to a certain actor!
I see he’s wearing the ubiquitous white T-shirt. And I still think the hat is so he doesn’t have to style his hair.

Great explanation re. the hat. I hadn’t considered that. (Team Hairpiece might also agree *muhahaha*)
Oh cod, 5 hours of involuntary body contact with a stranger. I so hate that kind of thing… Sitting on a plane and sharing the armrest is already horrible. But yeah, you are right, I’d be more than happy to share my armrest with RA.

Maybe those lucky stiffs aren’t paying for their flights with their own cash or frequent flyer miles. Since they are travelling together, they are probably doing some sort of
business. I don’t think they just ran into each other on a random trans Atlantic flight.

I was being far too naive. I didn’t necessarily think it was coincidence that they were both on the same flight, but I kind of assumed that they are both just flying to NY for the weekend, or something like that – Coben home, and RA to finally put his flat on the market (no exclusive insights here, just wishful thinking on my part). But you are right – with First Class ticket prices it’s more likely that they are travelling on business. Hm, one wonders what for…

Interesting thought, Fatima. And not to rain on your parade, but this is just me playing the devil’s advocate: But why would he fly a long way for that? In the past he used to record audiobooks wherever he was…
But otherwise I have no issue with that idea – I am slowly becoming a fan of audiobooks, so I can’t wait for another one performed by him.
