Now arrived in London on the first leg of journey Down Under. Mum gave me a lift to Edinburgh airport. At least that’s the most traumatic part of the trip over now.
Some months ago BA emailed me (that’s British Airways, rather than Mr T) to say that the flight departure time had been changed from 7.30am to 7.20am. I mused on this as we sat on the tarmac well beyond 7.20am, waiting for something. Personally, I was waiting for the temperature in the cabin to rise above zero, and found time to congratulate myself on bringing my ski hat and gloves.
At check-in I discovered to my chagrin that my suitcase weighs 22kg, which is 10kg under the limit for this flight (phew) but 2kg OVER the limit for my flights to Singapore/Australia. Am going to have to jettison some items here in London, I fear. Suspect that the underwear may have to go, it’s either that or the baseball mitt and miniature cricket bats. And we all know what’s more important.
Was reminded of my recent stomach bug when the stewardess remarked over the tannoy that they would be disembarking the aircraft by both the front and rear doors.
I’ll leave you with that thought.
Trying not to think about cricket too much right now… too depressing.
of course it wasn’t BA Baracus, He would have nothing to do with flying, foo’!
“I ain’t flyin’ Hannibal!”
As for your front and rear doors comment…
I’m disapointed in you Andrew, I thought you were above that level 😉
Ah – you’re finally underway. Wasn’t sure when you were heading off.
Safe remainder-of-journey!

You did have the option to drive to the airport. Are you expecting to be met in January when you are suffering from jetlag?
