Well I got home about 10:15 on Friday night. The flight was a bit of an endurance test as I was determined to switch to UK time as soon as we left Hong Kong to minimise the jetlag. It doesn't seem to have worked as I fell asleep on the dinning room table Saturday night at about 9:00 pm. On the flight I watched four films and two episodes of Top Gear, slept for about an hour and eat two airline meals.

Airlines have such strange ideas about food. We left Hong Kong at 14:35 and were given a meal about an hour into the flight they called dinner. We there then fed again about 2 hours out of Heathrow with a meal called Snack. Both of these were three course meals, or four if you had the cheeses and the desert. Both were served with an apperitif, wine, water and liquers. But one was Dinner and one was Snack!

We landed on time at Heathrow then waited half an hour on the tarmac until a gate was free at terminal three. I think the gate was somewhere near the M25 as I had to walk about a mile and a half to immigration. Once through immigration it was on to the baggage reclaim and by the time I got there my bag was already out so proceeded quickly to customs. The Nothing To Declare channel was devoid of staff, except behind the two way mirrors. On one of the stainless steel tables there was a pair of purple latex gloves. Guess someone should have declared something earlier in the day.

Home safely now, feeling a bit better Sunday. have managed to go to Sainsburys and do the shopping and am about to start trying to rebuild my laptop.
