Well after some delays in Bangkok, a sick pilot, a potential crew change, a near stay in Bangkok, a sick person on board, an ambulance, a missed flight, I am now in Australia!!

I am sitting here waiting for my flight to Brisbane. Nervous about it all but enjoying the rain (makes it seem more like England).

Here is to a new beginning!!

Welcome Serenity!

I hope the weather is better in Brissie than Sydney today (brrrr).

Ambulance? Missed flight? Please do share!

Well we were late leaving Heathrow as they had to de-ice the plane.
Then we got to Bangkok and the pilot was sick so we had to find a new one and that took about 4 hours.
Then a person was sick on the plane and they had to do one of those 'If there is a doctor on the plane please make yourself known to the cabin crew'. No idea what was wrong but they got an ambulance to take the person off the plane.
Then I had to wait at Sydney for 4 hours to get a new flight to Brisbane.

So I am back. I am missing England badly. I went to Woolies and was horrified at the cost of things. I want some Shreddies.

AND to make matter worse I am livin with my parents and am flooded in.

Joy.
