And I am at Changi airport, Singapore. My flight out in the morning has been cancelled so my 7 hour layover will be longer than expected. I won’t know til the counter opens at 4.30 a.m. what time I get to fly out. (There’s always something goes wrong with a travelling Noramly) I should be grateful, I suppose, that at least this time I didn’t miss the plane, but at this hour of the night it is hard to be anything but grumpy.

I actually had to go to the same counter at LAX United terminal (for paper tickets) that caused me to miss my flight to Denver. On that occasion, I waited 3 hours just to get to the check-in counter where there were only 2 people on duty. This time they had about 6 people, and there was no queue at all. Of course, I had allowed 3 hours and had that much extra time to hang around and do nothing at LAX.

Yeah, I know, stop complaining, Glenda. You’ve had a wonderful 2 month trip – Worldcon, looking after grandson, seeing daughters, camping at Virginia Beach, trip to Yosemite and San Francisco. (Er, don’t ask about writing though. I really, really have to get down to work now.)Here’s another photo of Borderlands. Wooden bookshelves and flooring, carpets, great staff, books, books, books, great homey atmosphere and a Sphinx cat. What more could you ask? If you visit San Francisco, pay it a visit. Wish I had a bookstore like this down the street…
