Oh Lordy - you were 11? I feel so old lol!!!

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Nearly 12! But yes. It meant I didn't get in to Friday of Book Week at school. Very sad.

27 hours of train travel - that's a lot of time on trains - I'm not surprised you're tired! I hope you can have a relaxing weekend...

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Thanks. No trains, at least... (My dad has just been diagnosed with cancer, albeit what we are hoping, and so far seems to be, Old Bloke Prostate Cancer, so not the most relaxing weekend. But I think we're all okay for now.) I am feeling like a walk tomorrow is what I need, though it won't solve anything other than my scrunched knees and shoulders.

Oh hell, so sorry to hear about your dad. Definitely not a relaxing weekend. A walk may not solve anything, but in times like these, you also need to look after yourself, so make sure you do that.

Sending you good thoughts.

*points upward* What Kazzy said. We were living in London then, but were lucky not to lose any roof tiles. Getting to work the next day was an adventure.

Have a nice, relaxing and restorative weekend.

I think I could have got to school, technically, but there were trees down all along our road, and I'd barely slept, so parents were pretty calm about me staying at home.

And thanks. I'm trying.

I actually love high winds - probably a good thing as we get them so frequently during the winter - and will go and stand on the prom for the shear pleasure of being out in a good force 10 :)

Hah, we are very different! I think it's the thing about us not being well prepared for them here. Certainly not the storm of 87, which was a big shock. When I'm outside and can see things are pretty sturdy, it's much easier to relax.
