Things to brighten my workday.

clo_againJust checking prices at thetrainline.com and if I travel down to London on the Monday before and come back on the Friday after New Year, I can do the whole trip for under £14. That's insanely awesome and probably the cheapest I've got tickets to London for, ever. Okay so add the £20 I'll need to spend on a new railcard before then but that pays for itself.
That's going with a change at Crewe each way and buying singles instead of a return... the cheapest of which was £41. I love thetrainline for reminding me to try buying singles. Yay! So I will be buying train tickets when I get home. I thought they'd have shot the prices up for New Year but apparently it's gone the other way.
All the more money to spend in the Forbidden Planet sale. :DDD And then I'll have something definite to look forward to, because right now there's just six weeks of woeful boredom until Christmas with more woeful boredom after. This might actually get me through to January with my sanity - relatively - intact.
Only now I've exhausted possibilities for wasting time via internetage and have to actually go do work. Sigh. I just want to go home and curl up in bed with The Graveyard Book. Which is even more fun than I was expecting and has my name on a gravestone drawn by Neil Gaiman in the front, which I still have almost as much glee over as my double-signed Good Omens. Which made it back intact to my bookshelf by the way, though I didn't stop stressing until it was safely tucked back into the space it left when I packed it almost two weeks ago. Totally worth dragging a hardback book around London with me.
Mmmmm. Bed and books. Only another four and a half hours to go and I am so there.
