It’ll be quiet in here for a bit.
Departing at 12:50am on Friday morning, the train will carry me north, depositing me ignominiously in Newcastle where I have to hang around for hours before riding in the belly of another iron beastie to Edinburgh, leaping off once more, waiting for a few heartbeats and then flinging myself and all my accoutrements onto another rail-worm that drags me up to Inverness, at which point I cower from the rain for an hour until the Orkney Bus eats me whole and takes me to its lair in Kirkwall.
Then I’m camping for 10 days. You heard me. Camping. In Orkney. In this weather. Yes.
(Well, mostly).
I’ll see you around the 20th. Toodle-pip for now.
Have fun!!

Just reminding you. Don’t Blackberry us exaggerations and lies… wait and embellish them when you get back.
