Well it is now only an hour until we land in Madrid.
But something just happened that I don’t think has ever happened to be before. Just a couple of minutes ago I was woken by the breakfast trolley and… well that was it. The fact that I was woken up meant that I had been sleeping!!! Yeah, and not just for those 10 minute periods I normally get. I had been asleep for over 4 hours!!!
Then again it may have had something to do with the fact that I had effectively acquired a ‘premium economy’ seat. I had been fortunate enough to have 2 free seats next to me so I could almost lie totally straight. Well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. I have, unfortunately, grown a little over the years and can no longer fit flat on three seat, in fact I’m still much to big to lie flat on four seat, but I was very grateful for the extra room.
Oh yeah, to add to the idea that people didn’t trust you if you wear the Abbotsholme Star. Maybe I was looking shifty or maybe it was the T-shirt, but either way they felt it necessary to search my bag for drugs or any illegal smuggling of jaguars out of the country before I got onto the plane. But I was clean so managed to get to my seat in one piece.
