Full, but fortunately only full with sossidges which didn't mind landing on the kitchen floor that much.  Equally fortunately, the larger sossidge-filled bit didn't bounce off my bare foot on the way down.

I want a BLT. I don't want the posh stuff from the restaurant. In my room. But the hotel doesn't serve the late night menu for another hour.

I forgot to mention that I fell asleep watching a dull movie on syfy so never got my sandwich.

Other recent trauma. More on BA, unfortunately, because even the little mini-sandwich at the end of a transatlantic flight has morphed into a biscuit. That's it (it's saying something the return league on American was far nicer). It's criminal. Oh, and their stupid plane dripped on my head during take-off.

That was the problem, this inclemency was inside the plane. I presume the a/c running at full tilt (which it was) in panelling above my head was condensing out moisture and depositing it on my head. Probably doesn't happen in business class.

I keep my hair especially tidy by having very little of it, so it survived unscathed.

I've been up for an hour and haven't had a cup of tea yet, and not likely to see one for another couple :(

Despite writing POTATOES very clearly on my shopping list, I failed to buy any.

"Never mind!" said I to Mrs. Wow when I returned. "We can get a big bag of chips from the chip shop."

I didn't take the evening kick off into consideration. Southend (5th) are at home to Bolton (2nd). The queue for the chip shop was round the block.

We are therefore having Gloucester Old Spot sausages with pasta twists.

Wasn't there a Custard Cream shortage a few months ago?

Coo! It was early last year after Storm Desmond flooded Carlisle!

Have bought a new to me bike in France and have to sell one of them.

Why do I like 531 so much?

I was unaware that people considered Asda to be part of the First World.

Yeah but.  All freezers have loose peas in them.  Always.
Defrosting  should actually be called de-peaing  (and defrosting)
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

I've never, ever properly defrosted a fridge. We tried once as students with a hammer and chisel (we were impatient). That got most of the ice out. The gradual return to room temperature got rid of the remaining ice and it remained ice-free, if inconveniently room temperature, thereafter.

It won't be until after I return from my trip to  foreign that I will regain access enabled by my level of BA Exekkertive Club status. This means that when I cycle to T5 on Wednesday (OK, if, considering rain) I won't have access to the terminal lounge showers before flying. This may be more of a problem to those seated next to me on the plane  ;D
