Puzzled to distraction by recent revalations and future possibilities. Woke late after an excellent sleep, but couldn't settle to usual Sunday chores. Tended to cat as planned, and then hurried to the station, having decided to bring forward the trip to Exeter via the diversionary route, taking in Westbury, Castle Cary and Cogload Junction.
Some amazing weather (between showers) made the journey outwards across the Somerset levels quite picturesque. First decent length journey on a Class 220 too, and despite the usual problems of seats not lining up with windows and so on, I was much impressed. Decent legroom too! Will be spending much longer on a Voyager or Super Voyager if Virgin ever deliver tickets for Wednesday!
Misdirected by a Virgin employee at Exeter St. Davids who disagreed with the information display and its view of the train formation. Rather busier on the return, but equally pleasant journey. Read a great deal to prevent difficult thinking - finishing 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' on the journey.
Later, invited for home made pizza and given a rather good bottle of wine in return for my cat feeding assistance. Its been an odd weekend of disquietening thinking and pleasant events. I need to do ironing. Back to earth with a bump...

I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
