Well it was an early start today to get to Aberdeen airport – and we’d had about another inch of snow overnight so Debs had to scrape the car ... with a cd box (it was a hire car!). I stayed in the car trying to keep warm – well it was -6oc where do you expect me to be??! We got to the airport and checked in to find our flight was delayed .... turns out the pilot was having trouble getting a taxi to the airport coz of the weather – well they could have asked me ... I know how to fly these big jets!
We also had to wait to be de-iced and then our push-back truck broke down .... it really wasn’t our day! We were 2 hours late leaving Aberdeen, but had a good flight to Gatwick & my landing was bad either lol! After saying goodbye to my new friends on Flybe (G-FBED) and having our pictures taken it was time to pick up the hire car & head back home. Debs took me to panto rehearsals this afternoon ... my goodness they’re rusty and it’s only a couple of weeks to the performances ... hey getting practising you lot!!
