Two Days of Travel

Thursday Oct 27 - Friday Oct 28
A lovely start, Josh brought his breakfast and ate it sitting at the foot of our beds. Harry joined him in asking questions about their Mum when she was young. Sara also joined in for a time. After Mike had departed on the school run, we three women breakfasted together, Sara carried our bags to the car and we made our farewells.
Despite Martina taking us the pretty way - lots of new roads around the airport - we were dead on time in dropping off the car. Rather early for our departure, time to read our Kindles.
What can one say about a seven and a half hour flight followed by a thirteen and a half one......tedium, discomfort, plastic food, cramping, seemingly endless.
The two hour stop over in Singapore soon passed, a Frapuccino at Starbucks and a Pandora bracelet for me. Sara has one and I read a book whilst away where a woman used one as an incentive for losing weight. Each time she lost half a stone, she bought a new charm. What an excellent incentive for me.
We were on the M25 by 7.30, a welcome home text from Bridge was appreciated. A loo stop at South Mimms and a sandwich for breakfast, another at Thetford Sainsbury's as usual, we arrived home at 11.30. Apart from the odd patch of fog, a lovely, sunny Autumn day.
Unfortunately, NooNoo has something wrong with him, he's very dribbly and seems not himself, we have a vet appointment at 2.50. Robbie is fine apart from a tick on top of his head which I shall remove shortly.
NB Never go to Australia Economy Class again !!
