Where did today go?
(backposting) Oh yes: it was cut short, as I was on a plane to Singapore. The new A380, business class, too, which was very nice. Really ought to put some pictures up of it, I suppose. My only grumble would be with the media system on board. I seemed to have a dodgy one, as it needed rebooting a couple of times, but also, if you can put together a playlist of some of the hundreds of CDs they had on offer, why can't you put it on shuffle? Grrr.Lovely staff, food, etc., though.

Back home - just
(backposting) A very good meeting in Zurich, which should lead to some good work. Again, only just got home. Heathrow was pretty much closed, but they still seemed to be flying to London City airport. Well, they would have been if the Swiss (International Air Lines) plane I was on hadn't lost one of its landing lights on the way to take-off, thereby needing it to be taxied back to maintenance, have said landing light replaced, and then take off 30 minutes late. At least it was only 30 minutes.Got home to discover that Jo had gone down easily, but that Moo was still suffering really badly from a nasty cold. As she's pregnant, pretty much the only thing she can take for it is paracetamol, which doesn't help much. I ended up sleeping in the spare room, as I don't have the heart to wake her for snoring, since she's pregnant. I'm a real softy, me.

To Zurich - just
(backposting) Just made it to Zurich. They cancelled my plane due to fog at London City airport, but I managed to get onto the last flight out, just because I happened to be close to the ticket desk when I discovered the planned flight was cancelled, and got into the queue quickly.Met an old mate from Cambridge University Press and APM (now well merged into Citrix), Steve Cunnew. If you're reading this, Steve, then Hi.
Got in late, but managed to get through evensong before going to bed. Enjoying SPIN selling (see blogs passim), somewhat to my chagrin.
