"Miss Bell, you were meant to be on last night's flight"

That is the first thing that the stupid check in chick at the airport express station said to me. Now I do appreciate that this chick had spent the past 10 minutes getting yelled at by a pissed off old british guy, but that is no reason to take it out on me!
"No" I explained " The flight is at 30 mins past midnight friday, which would be tonight" (Thursday night)
" Miss Bell you are on last night's flight, not tonight" She repeats
At this point, I start thinking - could I have really made such a mistake? (to start with I find that very hard to believe) will BA let me get on tonights flight? Do I need to buy a whole new flight? Or will I have to stay in HK?!
"No" I repeat "Check Again - Today is Thursday, therefore Friday midnight is tonight"
Well there was no apology but she finally found my name. What a friggin cow. I should point out, I am on tonights flight - I made no mistake - it was all her!

I managed to have a great day with Sarah regardless, nothing too intense, just some eating and walking and shopping. I am feeling better, but still tired and slowly improving. I hope I sleep loads on the plane. Was going to have a sleep this evening but it didn't happen - think i was too hungry. So now I've eaten, taken my drugs, and tidied a bit for Mandy. (Oh did I mention Mandy is housesitting for me? and then staying with me for a few wks - should be fun).

Princely Update

When Sarah arrived Tuesday night, I left my keys outside my flat in black boots on my show stand. So she was standing there shaking my shoes to try and find the keys. Of course right at that time, my friendly neighbour happened to be entering his apartment and saw Sarah acting rather odd.

Day 2 for Ms Lockley and she heads out for a morning walk. Sarah is attempting to lock the door, and having much trouble, standing there swearing for some minutes before finally succeeding. She then wonders to the lift and realises that my hot neighbour had been standing there waiting for the lift. He gives her a friendly "Hello" and they enter the lift together. As the lift heads to the ground floor, a 2nd lady shares the lift. Sarah has no idea where to walk, and decides to follow the other 2 in the correct direction. Of course the lift stops, the lady walks out, and Sarah at the back of lift is waiting for Mr Short Shorts to exit. But no, he aint moving. Finally Ms Lockley realises that this young man is waiting for her to first exit the lift before exiting (yes he was being a gentleman!). Needless to say Sarah was now shocked and confused - what strange strange behaviour.

But if nothing else this proves what a Prince he is ;) Mandy and I was trying to ply Sar for all the details but she didn't realise what a big deal it was. She isn't used to the serious shortage of hotties in hong kong. BTW it aint fair that she sees him twice in 2 days!! How come I never see him??

Anyway almost time for me to head to the airport. Meeting a friend at the airport whos on the same flight with me - should be fun. It still doesnt feel like I'm going to be seeing Will tomorrow, and Trudi, RM, Chris & the gang on sunday. Its going to be a kick ass trip ;) I wonder if I'll miss HK at all? What do you think?
