I'm writing this in London City airport. Was supposed to get the 10.00 flight up to Edinburgh, but it's been delayed by an hour!!  Grrr!!!!! There's nothing worse than being stuck at an airport if you're a frequent traveller, but at least there's internet access at this one, so I can waste a bit of time online (albeit at a cost of £1 per 10 minutes!). Hopefully the delay will JUST be the promised one hour, although in my experience these delays can often stretch and stretch and ...

There was thunder and lightning this morning, which is just the thing to settle your nerves when you're about to go flying -- particularly in a week when there have been 2 major air crashes!!!!!!

Oh well -- it's all part of the job!! I'd still rather fly to Edinburgh than make the slow trek by train, although if the delay increases, the train will probably make it there before me .......
