Our Palma chicks are on their way back to work.
We had them at the airport by 4 this morning and there weren't very many people (which was surprising) to contend with, which was good. They hadn't booked in online because they're travelling on mariner's tickets which have a larger baggage allowance and they needed to ensure their luggage was booked all the way through to Palma. Which it now is. Mission accomplished.
We came home and got back into bed for another few hours. It's been raining and the sound is very soothing. Let's hope our Palma chicks get to have some good sleep on the plane. Apparently, it's pretty full so there's little likelihood of them being able to stretch out anywhere. They're 7 hours into their 14 hour leg as I type this.
Oh, by the way... New Mum Chick let me know her little one slept through the night! Now that's progress!

Great news!
Our Palma chickies are going to be making the marathon trip home this weekend. It's going to take them 44 hours and I'm sitting here thinking that I'm very glad I'm not them.
Let's hope there are some good (new) movies for them to watch. I have no idea which airlines they're flying on, but I do know they have a couple of stops along the way with a long stopover at Heathrow.
It will be interesting to hear their comments on the airlines when they have a chance to sit down again. There are always 'hotspots' in the airports so Arabella might be persuaded to pass a running commentary on service, food, movies and that old 'dogbone' leg room.
On a separate issue, I'm in the process of icing the Christening cake. The almond paste is on (thank you UK chickie) and the fondant will go on tomorrow. I've pinched a tiny bit to make some very tiny, thin 'anonymous' flowers. Coloured some very pale pink, yellow, blue and lavender. Once I've finished with them I'll have to decide whether or not to make a few rose buds to go with them. I'm running out of time as the Christening is next week and not the week after.
Talking of which, we have just discovered that we're going to have to battle the St Patrick's Day Parade crowd for parking in the city. There are lots of road closures too... the train is beginning to look quite appealing.
