And we're off, after a nice breakfast (Pancakes for Emma, Poached Eggs on Toast for me) and a stroll around duty free, with a slight flight delay we were airborne!
Somehow Emma managed to negotiate the window seat for the whole trip and I can see why, within about 20 seconds of sitting in our seat, a lady sat next to me and started telling me her life story...I'm all for being polite but this was a 22 hour flight and i think she got the impression that I wanted to be mates. After the first 6 hours of her tapping me on the arm to attract my attention, i mentioned that I planned to sleep on the second flight from Dubai as a subtle hint for her to leave me alone. Really nice lady, maybe a bit too nice to be stuck next to for 24 hours.
We both managed to sleep on the second flight which was good, also watched LaLaLand, pretty good film, also smashed my way through Top Gun, two series of Modern Family, one series of Friends and eat pretty much everything offered. Emma passed the time with a 'Wizard of Oz' adult colouring book, an offline Spotify playlist, David Brent - Life on the Road and also watched LaLaLand.
