Almost there...

Floods, gales, and general mayhem were forecast to arrive in Sussex today so I was anxious to leave asap. I abandoned my plans to go to Greenwich and caught the first train north. The nice people in the ticket office at Euston were feeling all Chistmassy and let me use my Advance ticket even though it was only meant for the 16.43 to Carlisle. Amazingly, I got a seat as well. I spent the journey in a kind of feverish haze, having been ill overnight. I was home by 5pm and slept on the sofa for most of the evening. Hope I feel better tomorrow.
