Apology

Alexander - sorry I didn't make it to your birthday bash. I was feeling homesick & didn't want to end up stuck in London of a Thursday night, plus I'm slightly phobic about Victoria Station - damned place is heaving with nasty, pissed off, sweaty hoi polloi at rush hour & I don't know the buses from there to Greenwich nor if there's a reasonably direct route to Euston from there. Anyway, I hope you had a good birthday.

I took the afternoon X-Country train from East Croydon to Birmingham New Street & was home by 7pm. Kids were pleased to see me as was Susan. Didn't go into SL till late. Didn't go for a run. Bad Matt. Must go running tonight if not tomorrow AM.
