So let's try this again!

Off to Durham in the morning, possible limited connectivitity, yadda, yadda, yadda, so have a good Christmas/rest from work/whatever, folks!

Fair winds & following seas!

Thanks, that's definitely preferable to the Navy's Thursday toast - 'A bloody war or a sickly season' (and a quick promotion), even if I do feel a bit more like the second option!

Best wishes for the health of you and yours.

Thanks, and to you. I'm on the train and almost to York, so it looks like success at the second attempt.

I made it to Durham without any trauma, though the journey did show just how much the pancreatitis had taken out of me and I was glad my sister picked me up at Darlington, saving me a 40 minute wait on the platform and half an hour rattling (literally!) along the local line to Bishop Auckland. I'm still feeling pretty washed out two days later - possibly not surprising given weighing myself revealed I lost 8% of my body mass in a week. I can't see any difference, but family and friends tell me I look like I've been ill.

The plan is to stay up here for about three weeks, both to see my dad ( who was delighted when I saw him today) and hopefully to recuperate enough that people aren't telling me I look ill any more!

I'm glad that you made the journey safely. I hope you're having a wonderful time.
