What a long flight!!
Stopped off in sydney and then in Singapore (yes of course Sydney doesn't require a capital). The plane was huge one of those two storey ones from Sydney on and largely empty which meant that from Singapore I had an aisle to myself. Oh joy I was sooooo pleased. And i was soo excited to discover that we would be flying across Australia in the daylight, and I with a window seat, until I discovered that that window seat was happily positioned atop the wing thus providing me with a beautiful view of... the Wing. A great boring expance of gleaming white with occassional, rare but enthrallingly exciting glimpses of sky which varied in colour from various shades of blue to the pinks and oranges of sunset and then to the grey of storm clouds and eventually the black shades of night and back to dawn and so on (you can see how exciting that was). Anyway am here now in glorious England which is currently fulfilling every cliche by being grey, misty and drizzly. And am now off for a nap.
