A little bit of excitement - a frisson of danger!

Approaching London Heathrow  landing in about ten minutes. A feeling of warmth is spreading over and through me. I'm not sure if it's the several layers of clothing I'm wearing in preparation for a cold morning on Moscow or the complimentary gin and tonic  I've just downed.

Probably a combination of both I would have thought.

You're probably right, again.

Oo! A bit of excitement on our approach! Just coming into land, about 100ft up when we suddenly accelerated and climbed rather rapidly banking to the right. Back up into the holding pattern for another ten minutes. Our skipper announced that the aircraft landing in front of us had taken rather longer to move off the runway than they appreciated, so took the decision to go around again. A bit like circuits and bumps without the bumps  .... so far. Now coming back in for another try.

Do you know that warm feeling you were talking about earlier? Did it happen again during the aborted landing?

Actually, no. There was a slight puzzlement and a sharing of raised eyebrows with fellow passengers, but it was so well done it wasn't really too worrying.
Anyway, back on Terra Firma and sitting in Wetherspoons wondering what to have to eat. The problem is that I should be fed on the flight to Moscow, but I don't know whether it will be a packet of crisps or a three course meal ( with complimentary wine of course). So shall I have a burger or a panini?

Have you seen the prices? This is Heathrow, not The Wouldhave in South Shields?

Good grief!!!! The Classic Burger is £9.50 and a pulled pork sandwich is £9.20. I put my trust in British Airways,  and make do with a liquid starter. More later.

Do you mean another liquid starter or more ramblings?

If I have more liquid I will be definitely rambling.
