Grounded
In all my years of travelling on business, I'm quite amazed that I
haven't been affected by any major disasters before. So I'm taking
my current predicament on the chin and accepting thatwww.nats.co.uk is going to be my
favourite website for the foreseeable future.
What's interesting about this disaster is that, although I'm
grounded, I don't feel in any way stranded. Of course, it helps
that I'm stuck in Blighty, but the thing is - the way technology
has moved on, the one thing you can do on the ground that you
can't do up in the air is communicate by phone, by web, anywhere
and anytime.
The news websites haven't been a great help, with their
over-dramatising and doom-mongering ("a cloud of almost biblical
proportions" - oh, pur-lease!). But it is just great to pop onto
Facebook and see which pals and colleagues are grounded where -
and you know that you are not alone in wondering when exactly you
should buy that pack of new pants.

As for the doom-mongering - this is why I don't read newspapers or watch the news; it frustrates me no end!
Hope you manage to get safely home soon.
