I can't wait until my week off.

Working 12 hour nightshifts absolutely wipes me out and no matter how much I sleep during the day, I'm guaranteed to be exhausted going in.

This doesn't happen if I work days.

On my week off I plan to...sleep, maybe eat a ready meal and then sleep some more and then probably more sleep í*¾í´£

It's going to be so good!

I want it in my eyes not my arse though.

It's four weeks to go until I'm heading back to London for another two night stay...

Since my last post on this, the tickets and accommodation has been sorted. Due to a limited amount of direct trains (I hate changing - it stresses me out), there's actually a very good chance my brother won't be arriving until a few hours after I and my father arrive - so it'll be just the two of us to 'fend for ourselves' for a few hours down in the capital.

I'm actually quite looking forward to that as I know my way around the Euston area well enough and I've certainly gained at least some confidence on the tube from previous visits - so bring it on if that's the case! I don't mind testing myself in situations like this - where I can give myself my own challenges I know I stand at least half a chance of succeeding.

Well when I saw the trailer you weirdly popped into my head because I knew you'd be into it, and that's part of the reason why I posted it on here, for you.

I spent a lot of time travelling through Euston when I was working in London a lot.

Yeah it's not too bad of a station, pretty small and uncomplicated and Euston Square is a great tube station only a five minute walk away.

I hope you have a great time there

Thanks! I'm now down to two weeks until I go and we still don't know when my brother is arriving there...! As of last weekend when I spoke to him, he still hadn't sorted out his train ticket! If this was my first visit to the capital or indeed Euston, I'd be positively nervous by now but indeed, as it's a station I've used four/five times now since 2016 (when we started having these 'get togethers' in the capital), I'm generally familiar with Euston now. It's like an old friend, almost!

I know Euston as a train station gets quite a lot of stick in comparison to neighbouring Kings Cross and St Pancras, but I've never had a problem with it personally. It's perfectly functional and still miles better than the train station I'll be setting out from!

Euston Square is where I got my Oyster Card from, as I met my brother at a pub just around the corner from there when we started these 'get togethers'. That reminds me actually... I need to dig that out. I know I can't put money on it online as after so many weeks of no use, it gets deactivated until it's tapped onto a card reader again - so that's one of my first tasks when we get there...

Euston is being rebuilt and I agree, Euston allowed me to get a 1:34am train home last night as I finished work late. Much better than the nightbus that would have drunk people most likely and take an hours journey to get home.

I'm fearful and interested to meet an aunt and cousin next week for my first time ever.

^ Euston is ugly and I don't think they are doing anything to make it less ugly apart from eventually removing all the building work.
I mean it functions OK, though there's not much in the way of things to do while you wait. It feels more like a bus station than the likes of Kings Cross, Waterloo or Victoria.
I was thinking the other day that there's loads of roof space there, they could cover the station in solar panels and cut their grid power usage to a fraction (during a sunny day at least)

Yeah, it really isn't a bad station at all. I know all the building work around the west side is making it look a mess at the moment (that was all starting to happen when I was last there – November '19) but before all that work began, I thought it was alright. Sure, not a building that would win a beauty contest but perfectly acceptable to me. I've also had the pleasure of experiencing the first class lounge there back in it's Virgin days, which is (or certainly was) very nice indeed.

What I also like about it isn't only the familiarity (although I'm sure the progression of building work may throw me a bit) but the Euston Tap pub is right outside on the entrance road where the busses come in and go out. The Crown & Anchor on Drummond Street is also worth a visit - but I've not been in there for almost six years, now. Russell Square is also little more than a 10 minute walk away. There's a lovely Italian coffee shop there which I've forgotten the name of.

Anyway – one week to go…and I’m still none the wiser what time my brother is supposed to be arriving! It’s typical of him though – nothing unusual!

Yeah I was confused by that too, I never knew there were pie restaurants. I know of pie and mash shops, but Appear mentioned 'menu', and with "pie and mash" shops, the title is the fking menu. But sounds interesting, I can imagine a restaurant that specialises in pie would be nice.

But now I'm even more confused by pie in a sandwich. What. In. The. Actual. F**k.

'Restaurant' might have been a stretch because it's quite informal and it's not like loads of complex cooking is involved. It was damn good though. And cheap for a meal out really. Will definitely be going again.

^ The fungi chicken with mash and minted peas. Was very good.


^^^ Haha. Doing that must make regular sandwiches seem very inadequate.

I used to eat Supernoodle sandwiches. Kind of miss them.

This thread needs to be locked down and cordoned off with police tape - for crimes against sandwiches.

I love sci-fi, but I just can't get over his poncey middle-class Edinburgh accent,.
...wish I could, but I can't

What is it with Scottish actors never losing their accents?

Reminds me of Sean Connery playing a Russian submarine captain,.. with a very Skottishhhh akshhhent.

My cat finishing her breakfast and the sound of her running up the stairs to get to my room and jump on my bed for a squadge.

My cats aren't related so they're very competitive. It's always a race to see who can get to my bed first in the morning. When the largest of the cats is the winner her purr is extremely loud

When she's not the winner, her purr is like a little whisper
