Moscow Madness!

So, there I was, sitting at home on Day one of a six day tour on standby with nothing much on the horizon, when the phone goes and I am called out to go to Moscow!  Great, I think, at least some flying!  However, after airlining through Frankfurt and landing at UUDD after midnight to be met by a wall of people trying to get through the new electronic immigration control the airport now has, and after the long drive through pouring rain to the hotel, it would appear that I will be on standby for a few days!  Its raining constantly so not much to see out walking, and there is only a very limited gym, so it looks like I will go mad slowly.  The only bright point is that the rest of the crew have arrived and we have arranged to eat for dinner tonight.  Joy!
