So here we are - dilly dallying in an airport lounge in Delhi of all places....
We had hoped to sneak off into the town but we hit a brick wall so have paid a rather enormous sum to sit here and drink complimentary gin and tonics till 2.00 am
Nine hours of gin and tonics, it could all end in tears. Still we could be stuck in some border village in Belarus without toilets, watching the wheels of the train being changed...
The lounge gradually fills with people who've entered that strange state of waiting, reading magasines about things they've never wanted to know about, eating dried up pastries and drinking complimentary gin and tonics. The non smoking area is rapidly infiltrated by the smoke from the smoking area. The duty free shop informs us that we can't buy alcohol if we're travelling on a BA flight and we've still got 5 hours to go before we're wedged into our seats on the plane.
It seems we've been on the edge of bad weather, avoiding it as we've moved. Now China, India and Nepal are experiencing the worst monsoon floods in years. Meanwhile my Dad is camping out in Cheltenham with a bath full of water surrounded by floods!
