As I booked my flight to Edinburgh, the Icelanders decided it was time to resurrect their volcano. Just before I turned the lights off at midnight, I thought I had better check my flight to Edinburgh. Easyjet was warning all flights to and from Scotland and Ireland were liable to  disruption, and I should check the flight.  The part of the site for checking flights was, of course, down.

4.45 am alarm, open laptop and check flights.  Glasgow cancelled, but Edinburgh still open.  Checked the CAA site, and the same news.  So off to Luton airport instead of the station.  Suffice to say, I have arrived in Edinburgh.  Will I get home, am I marooned here for the foreseeable future? [Ed – If he thinks I’ll believe a word of being stranded in Edinburgh because of ash, then the Monster Raving Loony Party will win tomorrow.]
