So bored. Oh, so bored.

So, I still have about 40 minutes before I can even board. Heathrow sucks. It sucks because it doesn't tell you which gate you will be leaving from. So, I can't go to my gate and wait there. I have to check the board closer to the time. But, the board is too far away. Ok, now I am whinging. I keep hoping something will change, but it still says gates open at 11:40, plans leaves 12:20. It is so very foggy outside, I don't know how anything is taking off, but apparently it is. I've read some of my book, but am too tired to concentrate. I've started watching the last episode of MadMen which is on my iPod. So, I thought I'd splurge on another 20 minutes Internet time. But this connection is annoying me so much - there are a lot of flashing ads around the screen, so my typing stops showing up. I am a pretty fast typist, but not hugely accurate, and so within my typing speed, I have lots of going back and fixing things, which is taking forever. So annoying. I feel like watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind right now. I am so tired that I am tearing up over not so sad things in my book (The Book Thief - not sure if I mentioned that before.). I slept poorly last night - in fact, I've slept poorly for the last 3 or 4 nights. I think last night it was the worry that I'd sleep through my alarm - well, both of my alarms. Heathrow is good for lots of food/coffee places. I've spent almost my last penny on coffee and water (which I expect I'll regret if I'm ever allowed to get on a plane...) but still have some coins to show my nephews. Argh! Tired, bored, grumpy, god knows how I would cope if I ever had any real problems with travel! Wish someone had a foot massage stand. Looking forward to a sauna! I'm going to go stare at Youtube for a bit. Oh, and one other whinge - I really regret not bringing my laptop. I'm sure if I had brought it, I would have whinged about carrying it about, but (as Som pointed out when we discussed this last year) there is free wifi everywhere, and so I could have been doing stuff - possibly even working! God forbid, I've been thinking a lot about work the last few days... and not sleeping... connection? I hope it's cooler in Aus when I get home. A pilot from BA just sat down on the computer opposite me. Those uniforms really are very cool! Random thoughts - I almost bought a magazine, not that there were any that grabbed me, but I could have picked up Nuts (which I would have bought solely for the title). What type of mag is nuts? It's a lads mag - you know, Ralph, FHM, etc? Although, I am making that assumption from the lady on the front wearing only two small black rectangles over her breastular area - right that last sentence has told me it is time to stop communicating in public. (PS I just did a spell check and it accepted breastular.)
