Up at 6 today...


...and out at 6:35...



Carrefour was shut...





We let the No 4 go past...



...and took the No 1...



...to Opera...




Breakfasted at Panos...


..and then to the station...





...and our train to the airport at 7:45...



...via Berchem one last time...


...and Mechelen...



Through security by 9...




...and waiting...


To the gate at 10:20...


And boarding at 10:40 - all going according to plan...


5 minutes later, in our seats...


...but a delay due to air traffic...


...meant we were around 20 minutes late in taking off...










75 minutes later, we were in Edinburgh...


Of course, passport control took over 30 minutes - then an airport bus...


...to the foot of the hill and the trundle up...

Home - 7 hours door to door - an hour less than the outward journey - mainly due to our long walk from Antwerp station to the apartment and, of course, the post-Brexit mess at Belgian passport control...


At 1, systems set up again...



An afternoon and evening spent catching up on stuff and watching some TV ("Have I got News For You", "Taskmaster", "Leverage" etc etc)...

And putting together the bonus packages for the Edward Spark purchasers...

Bed around 11...

A very good trip indeed - but, as always, good to be home...

Highlight of the Day : A smooth journey home...
