The rain in Spain...

....falls mainly in England, based on recent events. Today's goal was to wrap up a deadline that others need to work on while I'm on leave, and reach Heathrow to get to Madrid in transit for Uruguay.

Galeforce winds, train chaos, procrastination and a tree taking down overhead lines near Letchworth Garden City combined to almost scupper plans. Plane confusion reigned en route to Spain. However Madrid was reached and a quick turnaround to Montevideo was boarded at midnight Spanish time. The likelihood of baggage reaching Uruguay with me seems slim.

In a random twist, Frank was at Heathrow at the same time en route to Oman. We were joking in December about this Uruguay trip, which I was on the cusp of booking. He decided on something cheaper but was still flying at the same time.
