One moment you are not so busy, thinking the recession has hit, then suddenly everything changes and you wonder if the jobs will be done before the Christmas break.

On Thursday I let the Train take the Strain and travelled to Gateshead to start on some short bespoke projects for a number of clients.  Good journey and the battery in the PC still had 50% life left at the end.

Next day I walked in from the hotel to the office.  Set off in the dry, but by the time I was near the office a storm had brewed,  It was dark, the wind blew and snow, hail, sleet and rain fell, making the last few minutes a bit miserable.

Finished up early and caught the train back, this time I made use of the Internet connection on the train.  It was often slow and unpredictable, but was able to read my emails.

I have to admit the train is quite civilised, better than the 4 plus hour drive in the dark on a busy Friday night.
