Back home again.

Hi all, had a nightmare of a time getting home.
Got a lift early to Calgary yard then almost immediately got a lift to the airport. All of this added up with me being 6hrs early for the flight taking off so sat around, drank some coffee and waited. Had a wander around to where the flight was checking in and found that it had been delayed for 4hrs so after being issued with a complimentary meal voucher from Thomas Cook I had something to eat and time to ponder on how I would occupy myself.
For some reason security seemed to dislike me and after being put through the new full body scanner I had my hand luggage put through the xray twice, then opened and swabbed for drugs. Naturally all was clear, but at the gate check in to board the flight my hands and clothing were once again swabbed. I have no objections to rigorous security measures so it wasnt a problem.
The flight eventually left about 20mins late (paperwork) and was pretty uneventful.
Due to the delays I had missed my train to Darlington but the railway company honored the ticket and I was free to travel on the next train which matched the ticket price which in turn meant a 2hr wait at the station.
I arrived at Darlington at 5.30pm, tired, irritable and ready for some sleep.
My plan was to return to Lethbridge asap, however the cheap flights are now finished for the winter so at the minute unless there is some cheap cancellations about it looks like it wont be until the new year before I return.
Since I have been back I have done very little, still I have Xmas to look forward to.
Bye for now.
