17.00 November 5th: London Heathrow

In limbo at Heathrow’s Terminal 5. Only 5 hours to go before our BA flight leaves for Cape Town!
The car journey from Falmouth was 4 and a half hours, and the reason for our early arrival (apart from fairly clear M5 and M4) is that Amanda and Jon have an earlier flight than Barbara and me. They are now in Terminal 3 and are trying out the route to Cape Town via Dubai, with Emirates. Cheaper but 7 hours longer! Another advantage of BA is that it departs from Terminal 5, which is very impressive after its horrendous opening day. So we will drop off the bags, then have a leisurely meal before flying.

Checked email, and good to see that abstracts coming in now for Comminution ’10.
