Out of time, out of London
I am two hours or so into my 13 hour flight to Bangkok. So far so good. The in-flight meal of green curry hit the spot. It is now 14:30 London time, or 21:30 Bangkok time. I guess that means that I should really go to bed in a couple of hours. I don’t think I will have any trouble getting to sleep- last night I got home from Glasgow (and the arduous trek from the airport to my office) on the good side of 1am, but ended up being awake until around 4am as I was manning the ‘phones and trying to get my packing done. Upon checkin at Heathrow this morning (from December 1st, the super convenient, life-saving “check-in-at-Paddington-station” service was suspended, so after lugging my cases to the airport on the Heathrow Express) found that I was 3 kilogrammes over my 30kg limit, but the ground staffer very kindly let me get away with it “just this once”. Thank goodness.
That’s about all I can think of writing at the moment. Hopefully Bangkok will be a paradise of unsecured, open wireless networks so that I can get this posted. If not, don’t know what I will I do.
Those of you on GSM networks will still be able to reach on my UK mobile until Wednesday night.
