Grrrr and indeed aaargh!

So, I should have been home by now, if not asleep then ready to regale everyone with tales of my adventures. That was the plan.

Instead I'm currently pecking away at a very oddly laid-out keyboard in a cut-price Paris CDG hotel, courtesy of those efficient peeps at Air France. Not content with sending me off over an hour late from Montreal last night - this morning - whatever - apparently there's been a rush on flights to Birmingham and they absolutely cannot get me on a flight to there via anywhere else on the planet before some ungodly hour tomorrow morning. Bastards.

Anyway, thought I'd just check in so that people know why I haven't surfaced yet. *le sigh*
