Offloaded at Singapore airport at 1.30am with all our luggage and went to the lounge for until 2.30am and had to go through a full security check at boarding gate which was really annoying. After re-boarding went to sleep and woken to have breakfast and landed at 10.30. Got a cab to our friends house in Staines and had a coffee and lovely cake that Sue made and had a quick catch up before making the 6hr drive home with a couple of holdups on the M3 and 303. On way picked up provisions at M&S and had a quick meal and off to bed.
