21 Aug. - Airbus
TED talk by Susan David
'Write what you're feeling;
Tell the truth;
Write like nobody's reading.'
'A secret, silent correspondence with myself.'
Killing time at home until 3:30 departure on foot to Mona.
Bus, train, train, walk ...
Check-in, boarding passes, gate lounge, plane, stairs! + seats on top deck.
Long flight to Doha snatching sleep in second halves of Einaudi, Gabriel, Zeppelin, Brahms.
Eat, drink, stretch, piss, sit, listen, sleep, repeat.
Doha hot + misty ... More gates, bag checks, walking, lounges.
Then ...
Another long flight to Edinburgh!
Notes: I delighted in the coincidence of finding Susan David's topic being so apt. Mona is Mona Vale, NSW and the music during which I kept drifting to sleep is by Ludovico Einaudi, Peter Gabriel, Led Zeppelin and Johannes Brahms.
