So today has been pretty much excitement and stress all rolled into one. Whilst aimlessly surfing the internet last night the dreaded words 'Ash Cloud' kept cropping up on my screen, and when I further investigated this BAA confirmed that ash from that pesky Icelandic volcano had indeed closed some UK airports. Damn. However, I have been checking both BAA and Ryanair throughout the day and it seems that Stansted isn't really affected. There are still nine hours until I have to leave for the airport, so a lot can change, so I am keeping my fingers firmly crossed that I will make it to Spain after all.
Today Sam came over and we ate pasta on my balcony and looked for planes. We even cheered as a BA jet flew overhead. It's nice to have a friend who is as much of a travel junkie as you are and understands the anxiety. Afterwards we wandered up to Peckham so I could buy a selection of toiletries which will not exceed the 100ml hand baggage limit.
And just as soon as I'm about to leave the country the weather picks up. Typical. I missed the entire of the 'British Summer' last year while in South East Asia. Caught two days of sun before I left and had two days when I got back.
