There are two ways of looking at a delayed flight. The first way is to get all upset, and be pissed off, and start complaining, and make a complete nuisance of yourself. The second way is to get on with things, get out your book and be thankful that the airline is going to get you there in one piece.
Today, I chose the second way of doing things. My flight was delayed by nearly three hours due to inclement weather, and this did not make me very happy, but I would much rather get to the place I was going to in one piece. I was meeting friends for lunch. That turned out to be afternoon drinks, because I didn’t get to where I was going until three hours later than I was hoping. By this time, most of restaurants were closed until dinner time.
But on the good side of things, I’ve nearly finished my book group book, which I’m not enjoying but it is read for next week. I’m having a lovely time in my swanky hotel room, with a large bath, and some gin and tonic. I can’t complain about this.
I also had a lovely dinner with another friend who was in town for the day. She doesn’t know her around Sydney, so I got to show her just a little patch. It was nice to have dinner in the place I was planning to have lunch in with my other friends. It was also nice to make these plans for Christmas, seeing this friend lives in Adelaide.
Now, I’m just grateful to have a night away from everything. I’m doing some book planning. I’m going to have a long bath in a minute. And just spoil myself for a night. It can’t be bad…
