A literally last-minute decision to go back for what may be the last time in a long while

It was rather a last-minute decision. I do need to get a job next month although that's been my excuse for going back the last four times. And it's only just over three weeks till Xmas. So I booked a flight that was leaving in five hours. But I had nearly done the same yesterday so was mostly packed. I actually tried to book a 5.50pm flight which had trip.com allowed me to book I may well have missed. But I told Xixi and she seemed happy as I would be able to bring stuff back for her...and somewhat similar with Tan although she didn't seem quite so happy.


I would have taken the tube but there were delays on the Piccadilly so I ended up back on the Lizzie line which had its own delays but I managed to get to T4 just over two hours before my flight, and with no queue for bags or security I made the lounge via a detour of duty free and was surprised to see that it was self-pour. That meant three meaty G&Ts and a tiny W chaser before being called to board. I was pretty tired so sleep wasn't that hard after a couple of white wines with the meal even though I was stuck in a middle seat for the whole journey and didn't spot a single empty seat anywhere.


 Jetpunk and G&T...nice combination
