Sunday 9th Nov 2003
20-30 minutes of sleep. Catch the 07:05 from Manchester Airport to Leeds . . . direct. Taxi from the station to
M****'s place. Babble incessantly for a few hours. Coffee. Babble some more. Get out of the taxi. Pay the driver.
Note the buildings, the air. What is this place? Knock on M****'s door. Start reading a book on the train.
Get bored after a page or two. Start another book. Unpack bag. Go home. Carousel number 3. Checkout number 4. Gate
number 51. Flight number 244. Get out some paper . . . pen . . . ticket from Manchester. Put book back. Seal bag.
Head for the 'Food Counter', remembering the table number. Walk alongside Rob, who himself is marching on the
'assisted walkway' . . . speculate about the difference in blue light used in this long corrider (connecting
the airport with the train station) and that which we saw in a Leeds coach station toilet. Wait for an answer.
Clean teeth again. Go back to bed.
