I’m here at Perth airport. It’s 5.20am, and I’ve been up since 3.45.

This is my short trip to Manila to pick up Jane’s aunt. She’ll be looking after the kids while we’re holidaying in US of A.

Not much to say so far. Except maybe the bad cover of a bad Ed Sheeran song playing over the speakers.

Singapore for a few hours, then on to Manila, touching down about 5.30…. eeek that’s 12 hours from now.
