My brother has come back from visiting our parents in Bahrain. He's crashed out at the moment; I suppose he didn't get much sleep on the plane.

Driving to the airport was a nightmare. I decided to go a new way, which I thought might be quicker, because it is more direct than the normal way. I was gravely mistaken. Most of the journey was OK, until I hit Ram Intra Road; it was absolutely chock full; most of the time spent driving to the airport was spent on this tiny stretch of road. Never again!
