Edinburgh
Friday was Children in Need Day. So the bank had a dress down day. Not well advertised. Very few people had heard of the dress down day. I went to the loo and changed into my jeans and Fat Face top.
Worked till 4.00pm and took a Taxi to the airport with Jon. There was an unusual queue to get checked in with Flybe. There though was the usual half hour delay in their flight leaving. As we were about to leave, the pilot mentioned we might not be able to land at Birmingham. Something to do with fog, and there I thought the pilots on these planes were just accessories.
The flight down was uneventful, and very clear. Just seems Birmingham was foggy. We came into land, and then hit the fog, which was worse than expected, so the landing was aborted, round again and then a second attempt at landing. This time the fog had cleared to some magical limit and we touched down. Actually we really only saw the land when we were over the runway lights.
Getting out of Birmingham was a nightmare. Could not get onto the M42, so I took the decision to drive to Coventry and the A46 to the M40. Back eventually at 9.00. Must update the time sheet to include the extra hours of travelling.
