Ahhhhh ...

It is Christmas.

I am home.

The cats are still talking to me and Mr Brammers has gone to move all of his books off the bed.

Truly it is a time of joy at Chez Brammers, and we would like to thank calanthe_fics , raitala , pingrid , Qantas, the Heathrow Express, several thoroughly decent cabbies and the Rembrant Hotel for making it possible without me actually ever descending into the screaming tanty that threatened. Especially the Qantas woman who did not put me back onto Peter Allen hold music. She is a saint.

No love at all to BA, BAA or Eurostar, nor to people who fly with tiny babies and then proceed to spend the entire evening CHATTING LOUDLY about how difficult it is long after the actual baby has cried itself to sleep (because the baby cannot help itself, but you, adults, you can), nor to the man with the obnoxious feet who took his shoes off across the aisle from me.

Mr Brammers even made my laptop work again. And now, for some unconsciousness ... Tomorrow or the day after I will address my shameful lack of comment responses, but five minutes a day on the lobby computer has not been helpful ...

Glad you made it back safely, if a little worn out.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. ♥

I read the line about getting the books off the bed to my partner, because that's exactly what happens when I get home from a trip.

Glad you're home safely.

I'm glad you got home! I was afraid you'd spend Christmas in an airport!

Merry Christmas! ♥

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

Yay, you made it back!

Merry Christmas!

I am so glad you made it home!
Now a great nap will give you the stamina to ponder why travel this time of the year :)

Babies crying - okay, and you are right, absolutely about their obnoxious parents (I hope I was always smart enough to shut up once mine had passed out cold) but smelly FEET?

Ugh, unforgivable. I'm glad you had such an interesting and eventful trip and are home safe and sound!

SO glad you made it home, honey! Mr BB fixed laptop too, that's great! Have a good sleep and come up smiling for the New Year.

Yay, home safe! May the brutal heat for the year be over, already, and may you enjoy being home.

Happy Christmas and, 'cos your heart lies waiting over the foam, I still want to welcome, still want to welcome, still want to welcome you home.

[meredyth-13.livejournal.com]

Welcome home, darling. What an ordeal? But still worth it, yeah? When the pain wears off the stories will kick in and you will smile.

Merry Christmas to you and Mr B and the kitties.

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

No need to answer my comments - give yourself a break. Welcome home!

Tiding of comfort and joy

So glad to hear you are home safe and on the whole well, aside from a few psychological scars. Rest up, take care, and lots of cuddles from mr brammers and the kitties.

You made it home safely - yay!

Merry Christmas!

I enjoyed reading about your travels (though I was biting my nails a bit at the end there!) Glad you're safe and sound.

On babies in planes: that is all.

[i-autumnheart.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Glad you made it back :)

Oh, HURRAH! :D *dances La Cucaracha in honour of your finally making it back home* Have a fabulous Christmas with loads of sleep and presents, honey. Pet the cats for me, and tell the J that the boots look right at home at mine, and that you are both welcome to visit them any time. :)

:X!
