There must be some way to feel comfortable when you travel but I haven’t worked out what it is yet. I am sitting in terminal 3 in London Heathrow and it’s really uncomfortable. I’m not really sure why but I think it’s a combination of it being too noisy, too hot and having very poor lighting. My back is also sore from carrying luggage up and down flights of stairs at the train stations I travelled through this morning.

It will probably be more comfortable on the plane but I will be too cold. An even though they provide blankets they won’t let me use one until the plane has taken off and the seat-belt sign has been switched off. I don’t know why they insist on handing these out when you get on the plane if they won’t actually let you use them at that point. Virgin Airlines obviously wants to taunt me with the possibility of being warmer.
