Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

Oh, okay, then. Since all of you (one of you) are insisting on updates, and since I've got up to 20 minutes credit on my easy nothing account and can't think of anywhere else on the internet to look, I'll give y'all a quick update. But just a quickie, mind. I've things to do. In a bit.

Plane journey went smoothly, as anticipated by no one. The wind and rain and storms of the previous week had been giving me cause for concern, because I thought that there was a chance my plane journey would be cancelled altogether, and then I'd have to spend the weekend in a puddle of my own misery, because when I've been promised a plane journey, it's cruel to just take it away from me through the medium of weather. But the winds died down just long enough to let us have a wonderful journey with a decidedly controlled landing, and the disturbing flying time of 15 minutes faster than it should have been. 10mg of valium and I had the time of my life. The valium did seem to take forever to wear off on the other side though.

I'm starting to think that maybe the vast majority of the world has a point, and that plane journeys really are quite a safe form of transport, and probably shouldn't be the biggest overriding fear of your life. We'll see though. I'm back up in the sky tomorrow and actually now that I've suddenly realised that I'm starting to feel a little quivery.
