Ours was very good, all went according to plan.

Back at work today, seemingly for a one off so got a regular day ticket, that's thirty seven pounds fifty I won't see again. Happy new price rises South Eastern Trains! Plus I needed two goes on the tube, another eight quid, or only three pounds if I agree to let THE MAN monitor my every move - better known as anoyster card. I've not bought many tube tickets for a while (been on a regular weekly travel card for the past couple of months), so I'd forgotten how huge the difference was. It seems a bit rum to me, part of getting people used to being monitored by making the pay for the privelege of not being monitored. What choice did I have? I quickly stole as many handbags as I could to make up the difference. No, I borrowed the lovely wife's emergency pay as you go oyster card, and she walked, and big brother is no wiser as to my movements today.

I've really had a lovely couple of weeks off, it was no fun to be back up at 6am this morning, and to have that whopper of a journey home again. It makes you appreciate actually being home all the more though I suppose.

RE: Happy actual new year

You know you can anonymously buy an oyster card from a machine now? £3 deposit and then you can charge it up with pay as you go etc.. No requirement to let the man know your (bowel) movements.

Oh and Happy New Year!

Will give it a go, whenever I'm back on the tubes again...
