#HappyToBeHome

Sunday 11th, 5.55, +3.8dg, home in my bed, forecasting for the mountain mild with light rain (total 9.0mm) on Sat night Becoming colder with a light covering of snow, mostly falling on Sun morning. Freeze-thaw conditions max 5°C on Sat night, min -9°C on Sun night. Home after a very long day yesterday... note to self... don't piss the border guards off at Heathrow because they have the power to delay you and make life difficult !!! A small issue with a 100ml bottle of collodial silver I was carrying in my handbag to ward off the bugs that surround you when you travel at winter time. Wooooo... was he mad at me for not having it in a plastic bag, but more importantly he didn't like my response. Let's put a little of that down to my late night and excessive partying at the Hog and Hoof the night before. The only thing he didn't swab was me personally. Central Europe is on such high alert after the shocking week that was in Paris, so I smiled and nodded my way through it as I had the time. Naughty naughty Moochie. Lesson learnt. Incoming Swiss flight delayed by atrocious weather so we were delayed by over an hour for departure, no problems in the Senator lounge apart from trying to stay awake. I found out once we were finally boarded that we had been delayed further as a checked in passenger, with luggage, had chosen not to show up for his flight, bags out, luggage located, removed.. in all probability taken to a secret location and blown up, then we missed out take off slot so it was a 30 min wait on the apron for a new one.... Joy oh joy, there goes my rail connection in Zurich. Big time. Two hour wait in Zurich HBF for the next rail connection to my part of the world. Super day all in all. Today is a simple one really, unpack, sort, wash, iron, walk, pack away Christmas, catch up on WC ski racing and count my blessings I am safely home.
