Top deck BA0056 A380, 59A and K are the seats of choice. The loos of choice are at the front of the cabin and are the biggest I’ve seen in any aircraft. Could have taken a copy of the Daily Mirror in for a comfortable read 🙂
Eleven hour fifteen minute flight and I’ve woken up with an hour and a half or so to go. This is perfect timing as I have had a wash and freshen up in the aforementioned loo and am now sipping a cup of tea. Breakfast is a sugary strawberry yo gurt.
All in all I feel reasonably refreshed even though it is only half past three in the morning GMT. Around me a chorus of snorers ‘entertains’. I fell asleep before the cheese course. There is rarely anything I want to watch in the inflight entertainment anyway.
Waking up at the end of a long haul flight is all about timing. Getting to the loos before everyone realises that breakfast is about to be served or the cabin crew is preparing for landing and big queues form.
Hannah and I are using the T5 arrivals lounge to shower and have breakfast before she gets the train to work. I have a car picking me up at seven thirty. Our John is meeting us at T5 because he wants to ‘borrow’ the posh camera again. Sfine.
Will be good to see THG again.

Driver Paul picked me up exactly on time fair play. The journey home was 3 hours and was far more comfortable than trekking across London on public transport. I nodded off at one stage apaz but nothing to be ashamed of.
Plans for dinner have moved from beans on toast to a curry so I popped to Waitrose to buy a Charlie Bigham’s CTM. There was a £2 off voucher for it in “my waitrose” so what’s not to like.
There was a mildly embarrassing moment at the self checkout when the system rejected the money off coupon. Turns out I hadn’t scanned the actual curry. Oops. Slap the cuffs on! I did own up. Had to get the assistant over to sort it out. Now chillin out with THG in the snug. It’s good to be home.
