Muppets!

That's me and Jamie I'm talking about there - total muppets! And here's a little story to prove it.

You all may have been aware that Monday, just gone, was 29th September. Jamie and I were not! Jamie and I were supposed to fly to Brisbane from Sydney on 29th September at 1pm. On Monday, Jamie and I were, in fact, enjoying our last day in Sydney.

We were sitting in Farah's apartment waiting for a taxi to the airport on Tuesday morning, complaining about how late the taxi was, when we came to the horrifying realisation that Tuesday was in fact the 30th and we had missed our flight to Brisbane by a whole day.
Now I hate to be late for anything, so you can imagine the panic, upset and general anger at myself for being a whole day late!!! [Johnny, picture the stressed out head on me that day!]

Just as well the taxi had been late, though. Can you imagine the embarassment if we made it all the way to the check-in desk without realising our folly, for ground staff to point out that we were so late for check-in?

In the end it turned all right. We got a standby seat and flew out on the 2pm flight and because it was standby we didn't have to pay.

Then of course we had to pray that the room we had booked in the hostel for two nights (the first night of course having been missed) wasn't given away. It wasn't, but we have just paid for Monday night in a Brisbane hostel when we were in Sydney - MUPPETS!

I can't say this enough - Muppets, muppets, muppets!

It's all ok now, we're in Brisbane and we will never be late for another flight again.
