Off to Geneva

The child's buggy

What a hectic morning. Firstly I spoke to TalkTalk to confirm my new broadband and phone deal of £8 per month with no line rental. Not bad for unlimited broadband and anytime calls. Although the speed is not up to cable speed, at 12 meg it will do for now. Then we called out the gas board to inspect a gas leak on the boiler. When he arrived, Margaret had to stay here instead of running me to the stations I took her car to Trent Bridge and took the bus to the station. There was some hilarity as people on the bus tried to buses what was in my package.

I waited on the platform for around 15 minutes until the train doors opened up and we could all get on board. It is a cool but sunny morning with the occasional cloud drifting slowly across the sky. The London train is quite empty. It stops at most stations on the way to the capital including (I hope) Luton Parkway where I alight for e airport. Nottingham station is till disrupted by the changes taking place. The main entrance is still simply a walk through and there are barriers on most platforms shielding the work taking place. I sat in my reserved seat and relaxed into the journey. The mobile signal is pretty pathetic so far.

The mystery unfolds

Arrived at Luton Parkway and hopped on the bus to the airport a few minutes away. I went straight into the Starbucks seating area and chilled out for a while. It wasn't long before I went through to the departure lounge and then onto the plane. We took off a few minutes early and the flight was smooth. We landed at a cold, frosty and foggy Geneva airport a few minutes ahead of schedule. Andrew met me at the airport and we drove to Challex in the fog. A few presents and a light snack later we all went to bed.
