Coming into London …

… over the pole,
Flying in a big airliner.

We land early at Heathrow. Where my flight back to Edinburgh has been cancelled (due to Heathrow limiting the number of passengers per day) and rebooked much later in the day.

I get to the lounge, shower and start ringing friends nearby. It’s a sunny day and I arrange to visit Ek and Kathy. But when I try to leave I find that a) the lounge has no baggage storage “since Covid” and b) they won’t let me out and back in again “because of a shortage of security staff.”

I spend the day in the lounge, eating, drinking, dozing. My flight gets me into Edinburgh after 9pm - and I’m home, knackered, around 11.
