After spending the weekend down at Camp Shiraz, new house down at Tweed Heads for those who don't know, mainly in the pool and entertaining for the first time in 34 degree heat, we came back to Brisbane to welcome the housesitter Jenni and leave Ben in her capable hands.

Normal delivery by Jonathan to Brisbane Airport, thanks Jono.... Lined up for the check in, no upgrade again, and went through the normal procedure before settling down to wait for departure time. Believe it or not they are still doing building work at night on the departure lounge, they were at it last year, but no matter how hard they try it's still second rate. The lounge chairs were old and dirty, as were the toilets, they still have a lot to learn from Changi....... but maybe not Heathrow..... but I get ahead we're not there yet!

Managed some sleep on the first leg and arrived at Singapore in not bad condition. At present sitting in the T3 Ambassador lounge, having some real food and a shower, next leg is about 3 hours away.

There is a civil servant strike planned in the UK for Wed 30 November at midnight, we arrive in UK at around 7pm on the 29th, lets hope for no delays as we will be stuck in long queues at immigration and customs........
