I encountered a bit of a problem in that the ceiling had been lowered slightly to install the soundproofing materials, and now the curtain rail would no longer go back up. My ingenious solution to avoid drilling any more holes is depicted here.

Curtains back up.

I got to the airport a bit too early, so thought I'd see if there was any kind of pub in the airport. Unfortunately, it was a Wetherspoon.

Me and my pint of actually quite reasonable ale in the incredibly bland surroundings of the airport Wetherspoon "pub".

Confused by the message here.

I thought for a moment this might have been Chie and Erika's plane but then remembered they were flying ANA, not JAL.

After being reunited, waiting for the Heathrow Express.

Back home now and I took Erika for a brief garden inspection.

The grapes are doing rather well.

Playing Kapla with Erika before bedtime.
