Having looked forward to the trip for so long now, it seems very unlikely that I will make my Thursday flight. The reports aren't good - seems those pesky icelandics are getting their own back for us taking all our money out of their banks so they keep stoking that Volcano up just as the BBC were putting out media releases that the worst was over and things would get back to normal. Apparently two flights left UK soil today, one was an internal flight the other was a flight to Reykjavik!! oh the irony.

It is amazing how much chaos can be caused by a few planes being grounded - half the people at Surrey County Council seem to be stranded - my boss is stuck in Morrocco, the head of IT is stuck in Spain and most of our schools are atleast 4-5 teachers down because they are in Calais trying to negotiate a man and a boat to take them across the channel!

Anyway, I am sure things will sort themselves out soon - my only worry is that the rest of gang make their flight on Saturday and I have to wait ages for a reschedule - my come uppance I guess for trying to squeeze in a stag (bathchelor party) in Las Vegas and leaving early.

Lets wait and see what happens.....
