Oop North

So I travelled up to Durham on Thursday for the rest of the year, via an hour and a half having coffee with kaberett

Some confusion with passenger assistance at Kings Cross, mostly another passenger's family being demanding, but I was on my train in plenty of time - unlike the other passengers who were only given the platform 5 minutes before our scheduled departure - and it's a 5 minute walk. We were a few minutes late in departing. Snow on the ground started almost immediately we left the station, but very little of it, and it died out by about York. My mother tells me there was snow on the ground here at 6AM on Monday, but it was gone by the time I looked out at 8AM.

Since getting here I seem to have turned into sleep-all-of-the-time person, which is existing in intermittent tension with occasional stomach pains - not quite sure what's going on there, it doesn't seem to have a recognisable cause: not a bug, not food poisoning, not even you don't have a gall bladder anymore and random stuff will set your stomach of - possibly the semi-mythical change in the water.

But I'm here, and the family are here, and that will do me for now.
