A hectic day at work - bobbing up and down taking long jump measurements at the athletics carnival - help to sleep some of the long flight away.
Sydney to Canberra ( I know you are confused but saved me $200!) was a quick 20 minutes. I sitting on the aisle and the lady next to me ask if I was going to Singapore . Nodding the affirmative she then told me that she (her words) needed to pee every 2-3 hours and would I like to swap seats - there was no affirmative nod this time !! At the same time I was thinking she'd better not be disturbing me all the time! - anybody would think that I had the ability to sleep through a whole flight!! Strangely enough on boarding again at Canberra she was no where to be seen and there was just a guy at the window, spare seat and me! Great no arm rest fighting!
A 4 hour stop in Singapore gave me a chance for a walk, cup of tea, visit to the butterfly garden, visit to the cosmitics duty free where Islapped on as many face serums as I could - yes at my age I need all the help I can get!
Singapore to London went smoothly, no one in the seat next to me again - was it my perfume or lack of? I think I manage a few 2 hour snoozes. Arrived into London on time and was soon getting myself and bag to the train for central London only that backfired because there was no power on the Heathrow express so had to get the tube. Terrible 45 minutes trying to clasp my bag between my knees, geting hotter and hotter - it was a tropical 25C - unable to take my jacket off, with more and more people piling on. When I reached my stop I just barged my way off and then made a run for the next train - made it with 5 minutes to spare! 2 hours later another dash from one station to the other at Birmingham and another 40 minutes later I was finally met by my sister.
Now sitting awake at 4am - don't know why the birds outside are so happy!
Heading to Wales after breakfast!
