Mid flight frankfurt to Singapore

About an hour in to the flight

Just had a very strong vodka orange drink. reminiscent of the vodka drink on the eurostar to Paris in 2004 with amber lol so I'm a bit half way to pissed already lol don't mind any spelling or grammar errors lol

Watching Rio on the in flight thingo. Damn I love birds. I wish I was one. It's one of the reasons I feel so comfy on a plane

dinner should be served shortly

I've added a few movies to the play list to watch during the flight.

Trying to sleep little on this flight so I sleep on the Singapore flight as I arrive early morning Saturday in Melbourne.

We saw grandmother today as we left. It was so good but so sad. She recognised dad. Then she called mum by name. She saw me and Alex and Jack and you could tell she knew who we were even if she didn't remember our names. You should've seen the great big smile on her face. Unbelievable. Brighter than the sun.

And then dad led the charge "nos vamos a porto hoje!" I.e. We're going to porto today

That was the story we fed to her so she wouldn't get upset as we expected she would probably forget at some point anyway.

What an amazing lady. It hurts to think that's possibly the last time I'll see her. I really don't know what dad would be like when she passes on into the next life. His dad passed away the year before I was born so I don't know what he was like back then.

And last night tia lola started to cry about us heading home. It was sweet but sad at the same time.

I have to save up to come back and do the trip I wanted to do this time around.

Even sadder still.

By the sounds of things, I probably don't have much local time left with my parents as it's almost a definite that they will sell up and move back there when dad retires.

Still don't know how to handle that just yet. I'm still processing it.....

Tia lola made a last ditch effort to convince me to move over to Portugal. She says she'll even pay for my ticket.

I just don't think I can do it as a full time thing. For travelling yes. Full time no. I've only been there 2 weeks and I'm crazy about coming home.....

Just got given a hot towel. Damn that feels good :-)

Guess dinner is on the way so sign off for now :-)

Pissed cub in the big bird lol.......
