Heaven

On the flight back to London, British Airways upgraded me to business class. More space. More comfortable seats. It almost made up for the fact that I had to wait an hour for my luggage to make it down to the little merry-go-round.

Worries About My Holiday Plans...

BBC News story: Fog causes more UK flight delays

Thick fog has forced British Airways to cancel all domestic flights from Heathrow and many European ones.
I'm hoping that this will be sorted before Saturday at 4pm, but to be honest, I have no idea.

Worst case, I'll see about having myself a holly jolly London Christmas and see what it'll take to mail presents from Western Mass. (I really hope that doesn't happen.)

Update: I forgot to add how bad it was this morning. I walked by the Putney Heath on my way to the doctor's office . The fog was so thick that from across the street, I could barely see the shapes of the trees bordering the roadway. If Heathrow was half that bad, I can understand the delays and cancellations.
