Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
Love, in fear, in hate, in tears"

I spent a day
at my
parents' place in Germany this weekend. I think I last saw them
over a
year ago, in April 2006, if I remember right. One day is just
about
enough, I think. LOL
Friday night I took the train to Manchester Airport after work.
I didn't
have to pay extra, even though my ticket was for the wrong day.
When I
pointed it out to the controller, he just winked and assured me
that it
did not matter. I nearly cried, how kind! He didn't even want
to hear my
story. I'm sure he's had to listen to too many tear-jerking
stories of
flooded transport routes all week!
The hotel was not directly on the airport, so I had to walk for
about a
mile. It wasn't too long. I went to bed relatively early but
couldn't
sleep all night. All those worrying posts and blogs in the last
week had
got me all worked up. I got up at 4.30 and rushed to get ready.
I was
still well on time, but it took me an hour to get to the gate
with the
walk to the airport building and then the journey through the
terminals.
It HAD started to rain hard again.
Saturday night I spent a lot of time e-mailing the girls. I
suddenly had a
lot to say and a lot of philosophical theories about life, love
and the
universe to share! LOL Since I'm not drinking I've been worse
than
before...
After the 2 car bombs in London, there has been another
alledged terror
attack at Glasgow Airport yesterday, so Britain is on high
alert again,
and sir traffic is affected. But I did got home OK, with
only a slight
delay because I missed a train.
