davidgillonI'm finally back home, despite the best efforts of the British weather to stop me - got to the station this morning to be told the local train I was supposed to catch through to Darlington where I pick up the East Coast Main Line had been cancelled due to something on the line near Middlesbrough after last night's gales 'and we're trying to arrange a bus'. Fortunately the guy on duty came out to tell us this before I actually got out of my brother-in-law's car, so he hadn't driven off into the distance, and even more fortunately was in a position to drive me through to Darlington. In fact I was actually on the platform at Darlington a good ten minutes earlier than I would have been if I'd caught the local train. (If I'd turned up on time rather than 20 minutes early there wouldn't have been enough time to drive to Darlington and still catch my train, so yay for neurodiverse travel anxiety!) The rest of the journey was trouble free except for a three minute delay outside Thirsk 'due to a signalling mistake'. Signalling mistake? On the East Coast Main Line? Not guaranteed to fill me full of confidence!
With being hospitalized and then heading north for Christmas/to recuperate I've spent precisely four and a half days at home since the paramedics scooped me off my bathroom floor on the 9th of December. Being here and on my own feels weird!
