We did NOT take off an hour ago,,
We did NOT make it to the airport.
We will NOT be landing in Hong Kong at 4 pm tomorrow.
We are both in bed, very ill.
Neil woke up at 3 am with a high temperature and burning throat; I took a turn for the worse on Wednesday.
The wedding is on 29th December in Oz.
Rebooking tickets, rearrange work plans etc - are all almost impossible right now.
If you were religious, you'd say:
Man proposes and God disposes'.
If you were a fatalist, you'd say:
'It's not meant to be' or 'what will be will be'.
I am a fatalist and usually see the glass as half full - not half empty.
Right now, I feel completely empty!
