    Oh. Not Brexit negotiators turning up for work then :(
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I hope things settle down and your day improves. Not long to go now. Travelling through London isn't that bad, if you keep your eyes peeled you can see some crazy things. 3 blokes dressed as Jedi walked past me in the station this morning.
    Thanks LG - I love London to visit, and I lived there for about 15 years - the travel-through-London bit is just about the length of the journey. By clicking "via/avoid" on travel websites I can walk between St Pancras and Euston, avoiding a trip on the tube, which is always good in my head - commuting via tube wasn't a nice experience even back when I lived there :eek: And I like walking like that, makes me feel like a know-it-all :D

    Loving the Jedi :j:j:j YouGov asked for my religion recently for an Oracle survey, I think, and guess what I put :D

    I refer my honourable friend to the answer above :j:j:j I get Destination: Star Trek updatest too :D

    Awww, Gally, though :( I'm absolutely sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes - in fact, maybe thats why Boris was appointed, as a typical magician's trick, to focus attention away from what's actually going on.

    Fortunately, the day stopped being horrible about an hour ago - I've never forgotten to eat before, I never understood that when people said it. Boy, I'm glad to leave this job.

    Off for a walk, I think - and I have some sweeping to do in the front after that. Not the day I'd envisaged, but I'm still on my way, and that's what matters.

    I love it when the WorldCon comes to the UK, I've been to it in Glasgow and London (and Chicago :D).

    The celebration is on at the Excel! I'd go for the experience, but I'm not really a fangrrrl for SW :o I haven't even seen all the films :o but I *really* admire John Boyega ever since I saw him in Attack The Block :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: it really mashes up the stereotype of a black London teenager :D

    I need to recover my strength and then 2017 will be lots of attendance at events I've been missing out on for years, and I don't care what it does to my budget; the rest of 2016 is devoted to catching up with family and friends :kisses3: that's the priority.

    I used to like walking between the two as well. I would cross over Euston Road, going south, and walk along parallel roads to Euston Rd. An extra few minutes on your journey but so much quieter.
