Day -0.7: So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye!

In a possibly outrageously presumptuous move, Team 365 feel themselves ready to post a final goodbye.
The skies have opened (not something we'll probably say again until monsoon season) and so today your patient travelers will be making their way to Heathrow and then, she says with baited breath, onwards to Delhi.

Thanks for sticking with us thus far: now may the real fun begin!

Day -0.5: It's just another day for you and me in paradise

Ah yes, as the sun sets on another glorious day in the Costa Del Watford, Team 365 cannot begin to thank Iceland and the glorious Ash enough for allowing an elongated stay.

A mere five days since we were dreading leaving these green and chilly lands for warm lands and chillis; we're lucky enough to still have our feet very much on this hallowed soil.

Those devilish people at the Flight Center seem determined to deposit us in Delhi come Thursday (22/04) but the Ash in which we trust has stopped this before and it can surely stop it again.

And so we continue our time in metaphorical purgatory with bags packed and our eyes lifted to the skies. Are you really there Ash? Show yourself to the people whose fate you control! Show yourself oh mighty Ash - or get the hell out of the way.

Day -0: Oh my god I can't believe it, I've never been this far away from home

...well, almost.

Ironically enough, as Ricky Wilson sang about "drifting around like a plate tectonic" it is indeed tectonic activity that seems likely to keep team365 well and truly close to home.

We're keeping our eyes peeled and our fingers crossed but at present ash from the second eruption in Reykjavik, last seen heading towards our green and pleasant lands, seems to be stopping play.

On the up-side, if our flight is delayed I will be making it my personal goal to appear as a pale and disgruntled customer on as many rolling-news stations as possible. Just imagine, 15 seconds of fame just before 15 hours of delay, that's fair compensation, right?
To my mind, yes, so watch out for us on the BBC!

...now where did I put that three six five t-shirt...?
