Hello friends |

Cameron gave me a beautiful , beautiful majority to diarise my experiences

Nicholas was hell-bent on cramming every bit many movies every bit physically possible into the firstly 7.5 hr flight.  I watched one-half of Interstellar , waking upward intermittently to enquire what was going on , which made me plough into a panicky mess at the firstly sign of turbulence.  I watched a few documentaries to help travel yesteryear away on me awake.  Did yous know that in that place was a betoken where in that place was agency likewise much oxygen inwards the air too insects grew to the size of crocodiles? True story.  That's actually all I got out of it because I was distracted yesteryear the sunset.  We had almost iii hours of sunset , every bit nosotros chased it some the public to Changi.

Changi was hot too sticky.  We went upstairs to the sunflower garden , where the air was likewise sweetness merely the sunflowers were pretty too glowing inwards the darkness , thence they balanced each other out.  We watched the butterflies inwards cocoons because most of them were sleeping. Some uncurled piece nosotros watched (Sophie would've hated it) too their wings were withal soft too tissue papery.


By the minute flying I was beyond exhausted.  I kept falling asleep piece eating my baked potatoes too chickpeas.  It was my plough to ability through films too I watched What We Did On Our Holiday too it was all the expert things: David Tennant , viking mythology , the Scottish Highlands too Billy Connolly.  10/10 would recommend.  It was pretty funny.  The kids were super cute too amazing.  When nosotros flew over New Delhi , the Sun was showtime to rise.  I didn't know how this could survive possible , given nosotros withal had half-dozen strange hours until nosotros arrived inwards London at 6am (when I would presume the Sun would survive rising).  For the next hours , the Sun dipped higher upward too below the horizon business every bit nosotros moved some the public , glowing dissimilar colours over dissimilar countries.  Over Moscow it was reminiscent of the Dark Side of the Luna cover.  Over London it was a pale pinky haze.

Heathrow was busy too I almost cried when the Border Control lady quizzed us near WHY nosotros were spending thence much fourth dimension inwards the United Kingdom of Great Britain too Northern Ireland of Britain too Northern Republic of Ireland too WHY Nicholas was a contractor too WHY he hadn't worked since January.  Nobody asked me anything though (thank God).
