morning

I don't think I slept much, sadly. We sat on the tarmac for a while, and then found ourselves at the back of a queue with the air traffic controllers -- but then finally we were airborne. Soon after they dropped off our special meals -- essentially what most people had, given that there was a vegetarian pasta option. Of course, getting fed first meant that we didn't get drinks until long after we finished eating.

Wil and I watched "The Young Victoria" -- at least he started watching it, but abandoned it in favor of trying to sleep. Easier said that done, of course. I tried listening to music, wearing the eye mask, everything. Perhaps a tiny bit of sleep.

Someone had a shrieking baby -- finally the flight attendants went and had a word with the parents. Bravo.

Landing in 90 minutes -- excited!
