In some kind of HEL

I'm in Helsinki. This is good.

I'm awake. This is not so good

Left Laura's flat yesterday at 1pm and proceeded to visit pretty much every bomb site via the northern line, to drop her off at Euston so she could return to her parents and then on to Paddington by bus to meet Robot101. Rather surprisingly we managed to meet up without too much hanging around and then catch the slightly slower, but much cheaper Heathrow Connect. The train is on the departures board as being to "Hayes & Harlington. Also stops at Heathrow." despite heathrow being beyond Hayes. It might as well have added "but don't tell any one". I suspect Heathrow Express might have words if they advertised going to Heathrow too much. I really don't think it is worth paying 14.00GBP over 9.50GBP for the ten minutes less it takes for the non-stop service.

Met up with various other people at Heathrow consisting of Scott James Remnant, Steve McIntyre, Rob Taylor, Phil Hands and Simon Kelley. Flight delayed by 25 minutes, although it was about 18:40 befre we actually took off. Arrived in Helsinki around midnight, only to find it doing some impression of dusk. Surprised to be met by Jesus and other locals so we didn't need to work out the busses, even though various people had been organised enough to print out the lovely photographic guide to HUT.

It's now 8am localtime so time for breakfast. It has no right being this bright, this early in the morning.
