I'm deep inside Edinburgh airport. Not got much energy right now, the place is too hot. Boarding commences in approx. 30 mins.
After almost 5 hours at work, went home and got stuck in gridlocked traffic for 20 mins. Abandoned car several streets away, walked went home, called taxi, waited 20 mins for it to make it through the traffic carnage. Jumped in cab eventually, the driver never checked who I was. Turned out I was in a cab to Haymarket station for a guy named Sean next door to me. My cab turned up 5 mins later apparently! Sean wasn't fast enough. Got calls on the mobile from the despatcher guy, don't think they he was happy! Didn't care. Had a good chat with the driver, he didn't care. He got a better fare out of me than he would from the other guy!
Eventually got to airport. Check-in queue opened right as I got there, so I speant a pleasant 30 mins talking to a Glaswegian couple in front of me. Went up to the 1st JD Wetherspoon's for a customary Heineken. Took it over to the comfy sofas I like at the Cornish Pasty Company, attracted attention of staff as I was in an unlicensed area. Had to leave. They never bothered enforcing these regulations before!
Back into JD's with beer, this did me a favour as decided it was time for food. Fish and chips. Superb feast. Expensive, but I drowned the chips in mayo as a bonus!
On the way to security bought F1 Racing magazine. Took ages to get through. I was picked for the random patdown despite having no metal left on me!
Now in the Walter Scott JD Wetherspoon's. Time to leave the country! Maybe the flight shall be delayed and I can get another Heineken. It's a long way to Spain...
Cheers,
