The day .......... terribly. My alarm .......... and I .......... the house with only 1 hour to spare before the plane .......... due to take off. Luckily there .......... very little traffic and I .......... at the airport with 30 minutes to spare. I .......... in at the gate and .......... for a coffee. Just as I .......... down , the announcer .......... my flight. I .......... my coffee quickly, too quickly in fact as I .......... some on my shirt. I .......... the sign to the departure gate and .......... through passport control. I .......... down in the departure lounge. It .......... full of teenagers, obviously a school trip. They .......... a terrible noise. And then I .......... that terrible announcement, the one you don't want to hear. There .......... a problem with the engine. I .......... around for a place to get another coffee. I .......... a drinks machine so I .......... over to get some. I .......... in my money and .......... the button for black coffee. When I .......... up the cup, it .......... only water. At that moment, the hostess .......... that the plane was delayed because of bad weather.
