Another calm start to the day. I've already finished for Christmas, which is great. The Vickster has been under the weather for a week and will be working through to Christmas Eve! Shame... :)

After a quick walk using the travelators back to Passport Control and only waiting a few mins for a shuttle bus to take me to Business Parking, I had to find my car!

It was just 30 seconds after getting off the aircraft before I ended up being first in the queue for getting back on. Another 30 seconds later and gate staff arrived and they started filling the boarding pen up as we watched the remaining passengers continued walking up the jet bridge.

Another chilled out start to the day, although I was up earlier than I would have hoped. Too many thoughts about performance issues that are a big challenge at work and which need to be sorted by midday on Tue, with no clear way of resolving them at this point.
