Taking a lap

-
I was taking a walk around the park and there was somebody running in front of me at almost exactly the same pace. My thoughts were:

  • Wonder if she notices me and feels like she's in a horror movie

The first step (well, other than deciding where to go!) was to make sure that my passport was okay and not about to expire.

"Christmas dinner or [other normal dish]?" "What's Christmas dinner?"  "Turkey"  "British breakfast or frittata?"  ...not going to bother to ask... (nor do I remember what the breakfast had! But it was fine) (Not going to mention the airline because I don't like them! Even though the food was okay. I only used them because I had some points but in the end I didn't save any money. Also, if you try searching for Taiwan it populates "Taiwan, China" 😠) Random picture from inside LHR
