(Belated) Happy New Year!

As always, lots going on I could write about, no time to write about it. This could almost be a train blog as that's the only place I write!

This time though, rather than a dirty FGW Link Turbo, I'm in 1st class on a Virgin Pendolino. It works out at £37 return if booked in advance and looks to be worth it (a saver return on the day is £38 or so, for standard class)! I've had many cups of coffee, some food and somewhere to sit in Euston (there are no seats except in restaurants of the first class lounge).

Anyway, continuing the theme of doing things some people call crazy (such as getting up at 5am for the London to Brighton run or working through the night on the Lord Mayor's Show float), I went to the embankment on New Year's Eve to see the fireworks by the London Eye, then arrived at Jez garage at 9am for the New Year's Day Parade. Well done to the people who turned up!

Throw in the Parade reception, PhD work, birthdays and now Ukrainian Christmas in Manchester and it's been a very busy few weeks!

I hope you all have a good 2006!
