Well, for a change I am not at 18000 feet. There is good reason for this.As I told you I am going to London today, however it is very foggy in Munichand as a result the flight has so far been delayed by an hour and a half. Iam currently actually on the plane and the staff are looking after us but itlooks like we may be here for at least another 30 minutes. There are peoplehere doing the usual tutting and shaking heads but what does that do? Weare delayed for a reason. That reason is fog. It slows us down becausevisibility is poor and so the time allotted between aircraft, both landingand taking off, increases. This is the reason why air travel is so safe,because risks are not taken.

Had some good news and some bad news this week so far. Good news is that anold friend (well, actually old girlfriend) is coming back to the UK. Wewill for sure meet up and we are still very fond of each other so who knowswhat might happen. We only finished because of my stupidity. I was goingto Uni and was young and foolish and had a peanut for a brain. I thoughtthat Uni would be all sex, drugs and rock and roll and it wouldn't be fairon someone if I cheated on them. There is something there that is morallyright I am sure, in a messed up kind of way. Anyway, when I got to Unithere wasn't so much of the sex, in fact there hasn't been a time in my life(obviously not including childhood!) when my sex life has been so dry. Kindof ironic really. I think there must have been a kind of retribution - theysay things get evened out - this may have been fates revenge on me! Anyway,now I am older and wiser (I hope) maybe we do stand a chance?

The bad news I got this week is that my great Grandma died. It is kind ofhard to get sad about it as she was 107.5!! 3 different centuries she saw, 5 Kings and Queens. Iam sure not many people over the age of time can say that. Maybe 1%? Iknow no details about the funeral yet. I am not sure what happens withfunerals this close to Christmas? Guess I have to wait. Seems to be thestory of my life, waiting. I should get more with the now to be honest,instead of looking to what might be.
