here's me and 399 other people sat in the plane at heathrow terminal 21. it's just taken us 2 hours to go from heathrow terminal 6 to here after an aborted take off, something about the number three engine not wanting to accelerate. we all look a bit tired and not a little scared. we all know it's going to be a long day. hell, it already HAS been a long day and the thought of another 4 hours in heathrow before the 11 hour flight is more than a lot of people can bear. non-smoking flight too. that'll teach them. and here's me 27 hours and 169 pages of 'Girlfriend In A Coma' after i left home finally arriving at my destination and by all accounts i should be asleep but that can wait just a bit longer cos i haven't had THESE arms (or, indeed any other arms) around me for four months now. sleep can wait... the inside of an internet cafe on melrose in CA, just minutes from where i'm staying, serruptitiously downloading IRC software on one of the PCs here. um, this US keyboards a bit alien to me and the connection's not as fast as i'm used to but it'll do. um, floods in the uk, 70' and sunny here. thems the breaks. anyway, my hour's nearly up. hope evrybody else's flights (rory & linda's for instance) were less eventful than my own (pam, you'd've hated it). sigh, i'm on the wrong coast a week early for the gigs but, somehow, i think i have the better of the deal 8) see you andy 3 hours...
