After turning out the light at just before 9pm, we were very rudely awoken by Vick's phone going bananas! It was showing an Extreme Emergency Alert warning about the risk of a tornado heading our way!

It was windy overnight with the air con singing to us as we slept. We weren't sure whether it really was the wind or the air con was playing up!

After dropping the car at T5 Meet & Greet, we headed down to the tube for the short trip to T3. As often is the case, there was a bit of waiting around for the tube to leave.
