The broken nail 24/1/10

Not the best start to the week. Lost all the the nails on my left hand except my thumb nail, but managed to break that off about half way down last night when I was cleaning. Can't take it off because of where it is broken, so the sharp edge has already torn a hole in the very expensive flight socks I bought.
Foggy over the Penines but got to the car park in about an hour and twenty minutes. Arrived at Manchester Airport about 07.25, quick baggage drop and into the departure lounge for 8 a.m. Took off at 09.20 and it is now 10.15 and all they have given us to eat is a packet of peanuts. I'm starving, just as well I don't have a peanut allergy. Don't they realize we've been up since 5 a.m.? Oh, and now they're bringing round booze, the chap in front has taken a beer! Finally got fed at 11.00. Dinner. Looks like they are saving breakfast for the approach to Singapore.
13 hours Manchester to Singapore.
Flying over India at the moment. Air temperature up to -47 degrees centigrade, it was -61 over Poland. Quite strange this long haul flying lark. Been pitch dark for several hours now, since Iran, so it feels like the depths of the night but it's 17.48 in Manchester, 23.18 where we are and its tomorrow in Singapore in the early hours of the morning; 01.50 am. We have about three and a half hours left in flight before we reach Changi Airport.

Nearly there now. We've had a tail wind most of the way although there is now a light headwind of 30km/h; this has pushed us forward and we are due to land at 05.30 Singapore time, 09.30 Manchester time. Never had breakfast at 4 a.m. before, can't say its something I want to do regularily.
