Nearly there....

Last week was insane - mega busy at work, too tired to blog in the evenings...

And the weekend was just as busy!

Not that I am complaining about that - on Sunday I went to London to meet Number One Son on his way home for the holiday!

One thing did strike me at the train station as I was waiting for him to arrive.

The station is one of the most modern in London...

 
Yet in the middle of all this, there are these really hand-made looking signs...

 
Just me, perhaps?
 
Anyway, there I was, on the designated platform, when 3 minutes before the train was due to arrive (7), there was the announcement that the train was already at platform 13!

A bit of a run, and I was there, trying to get through the throng to find my son with his baggage. 

Found him in the end!

It was great to see him again, and on the way back we talked no stop about everything and nothing and ate biscuits and drank Pepsi to keep us going until we got home for the Mexican dinner that was waiting for us.

Great stuff.

Hope to post more often this week and play some serious catch up on everyone elses blogs too!

Have a great week!

Love that sign. But that's just because I want to stop Canada's Harmonized Sales Tax or HST.

Definitely a busy time of year! Hope things slow down for you a bit so you can enjoy having your #1 son home.
I find it funny that the sign has a couple of meanings depending on where your from. :)

Have a wonderful time visiting! And that sign is awesome.

On the freeway here, we have a sign with a red slash mark and red circle around "HM." Which makes me laugh every time, because here that stands for "hazardous materials," meaning no trucks with hazardous materials can travel on that freeway, but in your country, it would mean treason ;)

I think most of us are in a very similar place as you. This is a hectic, fun, crazy time of year. Enjoy your family and the holidays. We'll all be catching up with each other in the new year when things settle down some.

Isn't it always like that? The more modern things get, the more we miss the old things. I've had the same challenges at airports - at the right gate with plenty of time and they change the gate to something halfway across the airport. I'm thinking somebody likes to mess with me.
