It's going to be a long day
« on: 09 September 2023, 06:22:23 »
I'm driving down to Stansted to pick up my son and his partner this afternoon, a round trip of about six hours. They are arriving from Morocco and, as you've probably heard, there was quite a large earthquake last night. So I've been up all night trying to reassure them that everything will be fine, so I'll be a wee bit tired later  :(

They are flying from Ouarzazate on Ryanair, I just hope the flight goes ahead as I think they are both a bit shook up. Shook up.......get it? 😁

Thank you. Still at the airport (just a large waiting room with no shops for food and drink). But no news of a flight cancellation, so that's good  :y

According to FR24, the outward bound plane from Stansted is just crossing into Spain. Looking at a three-hour delay at least.  :(

More likely he's fast asleep in his car in the car park at Stanstead!  :D

Meanwhile, the youngsters have landed, and with no sign of Uncle STEMO have opted to get the train into London and onwards Oop Norf.  ;D

Got home about half an hour ago, was greeted by a massive thunderstorm. Couldn't see ten feet in front of me, just what I needed after 6 hours behind the wheel.
But they are home safe and sound, that's all that matters.
Bishops Stortford is a shithole, btw  ;D
