The Long-Haul Flight Edition

5 stories that entertained me from Melbourne to London

I’m sure there are readers among you who are in the same position as I am: family responsibilities divided by a great distance, shuttling back and forth as if we’re characters in a time-slip novel — except that instead of a grandfather clock striking thirteen or a time-defying bed in a boarding school, we have to go the long way. (Mental note: give my next time-slip character jet-lag.)

So, I find myself in London again after another 23-hour journey. And to help me stay awake today I thought I’d share two podcasts, two films and a book that kept me thoroughly entertained on QF1.
