The time has finally come to head to Heathrow. It was a bit disapointing to discover that the plane's so full that we're unable to sit next to each other, however they do manage to put me one row behind Leanne so we can still talk and pass Daisy between us so it wasn't too bad.We went for a coffee and cake with Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds and then bid teary farewells as we headed through the departure gates and onto the plane.
The journey was quite uneventful. Daisy slept for about an hour after takeoff and we both used the opportunity to watch a movie (it was mid-afternoon, so there was no chance of getting sleep at that time). Unfortunately it turned out that this was the only sleep she'd manage for the whole flight and so we were a bit bleary-eyed by the time we touched down in balmy Bangalore.
The food on the flight was great. Curry for dinner (and Lea managed to score me an extra Chicken Cassarole because I'd missed lunch) and Curry for breakfast too! Based on this, I think I'm gonna like India!
The movies were alright. I managed to watch Firewall with Harrison Ford. Not a bad movie if you like that kinda thing. Thankfully I do, so it passed the time quite well. Didn't get a chance to watch any others as we spent most of the flight alternately walking Daisy up and down the aisles, greeting her fellow passengers as she goes. The Indians love kids and she was passed around a fair few of them to everyone's enjoyment.

It took me nearly ten hours but I did manage to watch most of one movie, The Big White, with Robin Williams. Again it was okay. Daisy was very good in that she didn't cry unless you put her down. She loved walking up the aisle holding onto peoples armrests. By the end of the flight though she wanted to get off as I think her tummy was a bit upset. She fell asleep while we were taxiing in! The air hostesses were jsut lovely and i must write letter of thanks.
Ahh. Daisy sounds so very like her mother... :D
