Raithe

Got back home. With the combination of rail strikes, bad traffic, accidents, weather, etc... It took me 7.5 hours to go from stepping back onto English soil to arriving at home. Also, San Diego and Wildomar have been pretty much London weather the past 3-4 days. And American children are like ravenous piranhas when presented with Cadbury chocolate.

Doing the last minute prep and checking that dad's going to be good while I'm away, before getting up early manana and heading to the airport. Here's hoping no strange weather keeps hitting San Diego. I really don't want an 11 hour flight being diverted while friends are waiting. I saw a lot of that was happening at the weekend for folks traveling there. Still, y'all have fun as the New Year approaches.

Also, for further random interest:

Ah, sometimes it's good to go back to the classics...

As ever around this time of year:

@ShadySands Happy Birthday, and enjoy all those celebrations. Build up all the memories you'll never be able to tell future children about...
