Sue's Blog - Some assembly required.

Back home.

I am back.
The flight was uneventful.........almost.
When I checked in at the airport I was given the option of an upgrade for 59 pounds.
Had I been on my own I would not have taken it but with severe urging from Donna I did.
I had an aisle seat already booked in economy.
I now had a aisle seat booked in economy plus ..............only I didn't.
When I took my seat on the plane it turned out I was stuck in the middle of two big blokes.
I didn't go a lot on that.
So I spoke to a steward and asked if they had another economy plus which was an aisle seat.
After a few minutes he came to tell me they had and moved me.
I was now sitting next to another big bloke who had the window seat and I had the aisle.
Brill.
Only it wasn't.
When I tried to watch the film on the little screen on the seat in front I couldn't get any sound out of my headphones. A very nice man across the aisle tried my headphones, his headphones and then a spare set..........none worked in my connection but they all worked for him.
So, I had to tell the steward.
This was all going wrong. I would have been better off saving my 59 quid and staying in my original seat.
But, the steward found me another aisle seat in economy plus and gave me a free drink.
This was a good seat.
I was by the aisle and there was a vacant seat next to me.
I must admit though that economy plus wasn't what I was hoping for. It wasn't one of the big, comfy, posh seats you pass on the way to your cramped little seat with the riff raff.
It just had slightly more leg room.
Oh well.
It was good to get back though.
Sunday night was a 4 cat night. Bubba on my right shoulder, Lily on my left shoulder, Looby Loo at my side and Lollipop at my feet.
Philip was around somewhere too.
I think they missed me.
Tomorrow I go back to work. That will be fun.
