A 3 hour delay, due to a medical emergency divertion to Turkey on the incoming flight from Dubai, has created a 2 day delay at the other end. I will not get Home until Tuesday afternoon instead of Sunday night, due to my lift having left Christchurch on Sunday. I'm hoping Spook can find ways of making this a bonus for the children. Two more nights freedom from my cooking, perhaps.
I'm planning to turn it in to a bonus as I have 24hrs in Dubai at Emirates expense and have sent a request through the internet airwaves for my nephew, Dougie, to join me for dinner at my hotel. This makes me feel satisfyingly jet-setting. Daniel Craig would be a huge bonus, but I'm forced to be a realist now, at my age. Sadly, on the two occasions I have whipped out my laptop in a worldly fashion, I have had to shimmy up to proper world travellers and ask how the hell you get it online. This is not Dubai!!
I have already been at the airport for 3hrs and have another 2 hours before take-off. I suppose I'd be too tired for Daniel on arrival anyway, and my eyeliner will have spread to half way down my cheeks...not the best look on a Bond Girl.
