The flight

Sydney to Singapore
The plane was about 30 minutes late leaving but I was in the lounge and I have three hours in Heathrow anyway. My seat is 4E in the front cabin, this is where first class used to be. The view at take off was great, I could see out of 10 port holes! French champagne on arrival, with refills. Cool!

Before dinner I watched, “The International”, Clive Owen, quite good. Later I watched , Frost Nixon. Excellent. I'd actually be interested in seeing the original interviews now. I wonder if they are on You Tube?

Dinner: A lovely Prosciutto entree followed by Rack of lamb and then a rhubarb ice cream, Patrick would like that :) Served with a nice red, can't recall what, and then a 10 year old Penfolds tawny port, surprisingly good for only ten years old.

Singapore to Heathrow
Back in the main cabin this flight. Half the plane is business class!

I watched “Escape to Witch Mountain”, quite good, then “Watchmen”, stupid movie, and a TV show, Wallander.

Dinner: A vinaigrette with a pressed crab round with a prawn on top followed by a very nice beef fillet steak with veggies. I was so tired I forgot to photograph the meal!

I then tried to sleep, but I didn't sleep that well. The bed is fully flat but after about 3 hours I woke up. I think that was about 7am Sydney time. Typical. Had another doze, I think it may actually have been 2 hours.

Breakfast: Fruit, yogurt, rolls and a full English breakfast, sausage, bacon, egg, mushrooms and tomato, with tea. Very pleasant.

Heathrow
As soon as we landed I made my way directly to the BA club and a shower! I feel so much better. Sat in the club for a while. Not hungry though, just a coke and, as a memorial to past tours a yogurt :)
