woo! Made the train! The demo/class with charlie went ok- the kids were too pissed to pay attention much but they were enthusiatic and some of them wanted to know more afterwards… Then on to Bar Med where loads of the York posse were out - it was great to see them all … everyone was on form and dancing ranged from comical to really sweet… rounded off the evening with half an hour of talking nonsense and some acrobatics from Kim.

The first scary part of my hare-brained plan for today was the hour or two between getting home from the club and getting on the train. Fortunately a call from Sheryl and texts from the guys kept me busy while the bath ran, then I freshened up in time to get really sweaty lugging the … er …. luggage down to the railway station… bro had kindly lent me his suitcase when my rucksack was looking a little overstuffed but he’d warned me that it drags along on its wheels at JUST the wrong height for comfort. he wasn’t wrong. I wonder how much it weighs and how that relates to the baggage limit on my flight…

Shades of sweden trip here. Then too I got a 5 am train. I thought I was fine until later in the day when I poured ketchup down myself and started to get paranoid… Fortunately this time by lunchtime GMT I should be fast asleep and my body clock half way to California time. We’ll see.
