Woke early today which should enable some sleep on the long flight. It wasn't daylight or too much sleep so it must have been worrying about catching the flight today after yesterday's Virgin Blue chaos. Not being a patient queue person at the best of times, the prospect of a 4 hour or longer wait to checkin did not help my sleep. So I rose early to finish whatever was left in the pantry and consider packing.
Long dependence on Tess for packing left me apprehensive about leaving something crucial behind and my backpack is remarkably light. However, I had plenty of time before the 15.30 scheduled departure so I managed to watch the Coco Chanel movie, mark some yr 7 tests and join my friend Ruth who had kindly offered a lift to the airport.
Allowing even more time than normal, I arrived at 13.30, crutches taped together and walked straight to the front of the queue, which wasn't much anyway. Ten minutes later I had passed through security and sat down with a coffee. Go figure!
I'm still waiting, however, as the flight has been delayed by an hour for no reason given. I suspect chaos lurks just below the surface.
A technological glitch seems to have deleted most of my iBooks. Won't be able to fix it till I return. Thanks for your Amazon books Rose!
See you in Perth.

Arrived safe before 9 pm Perth time. I always hate travel days and they always use a day, no matter the distance.
