Home. Home again. It's good to be home as well. The flight itself wasn't anything special. Having spent some time at Melbourne airport trying to ditch some stuff to bring my bags inside the required weight limit, losing a couple of book, a few magazine and some toiletries. Melbourne to Singapore seemed a little brief. It was a 7 hour stint but having watched a couple of movies and got some sleep along the way I was soon up in the cactus garden at Singapore airport. Singapore to Heathrow seemed to take forever. That's the trouble with flying on long flights. The closer you get to the destination the worse it becomes. That sheer need to be somewhere and not on a plane. It's never too bad though. Rushed through Heathrow to get from Terminal 4 to Terminal 1 and the flight to Manchester. Last time there'd been delays so a bus sped a few of us through. This time I had to do it the long way, though in my bleary tiredness I very nearly went through the exits and not through the connections. The half hour to Manchester, with a free copy of the Telegraph was quick. After nine months of Australian newspapers it almost seemed odd reading an English paper. News of Michael Owen's move to Newcastle and the floods in New Orleans were covered in detail, the rest of the news passed over. And the final leg. The train to York. There's something I love about the train into York from that particular direction. Possibly because I've done it so many times, from years gone by of having been to Cornwall and a few more recent trips last year. Passing through Morley station brought back a few good memories, as did seeing the old shell of a windmill close to where I grew up. Since getting home I've done little. I'm tired and really need sleep. I've had a bath and some sleep. I'm hungry, tired and want to sleep for the rest of the day and night. It's been fun though!            Comment on this article
