Still from Porco Rosso showing plane in beach cove

Over the past few months when I've talked to my friends about my general situation it has led to the same phrase: God, you really need a win.

And I do. I need a win. I have been needing a win, I remain needing a win. I will be needing a win.

And yet here I am facing down a fifteen hour delay on my journey back to London when mere weeks ago I was delayed by a day and an actual half to get to New Zealand.

This is just the latest in a line of bullshit that has been cropping up to make things just that little bit harder.
