eeeagh!!

Got up at 6. Shower, breakfast, bit of web-searching, wasn't out of me house until just after 8. Got to Victoria Station, thought I'd take the 9:30 Oxford Express out.

We actually left closer to 10, and it took two and a half hours to get down here, just about an hour longer than it should have.

It appears, a central water main has broken. All of London was at a standstill. It took us the better part of an hour to travel, oh, probably about 5 miles. Possibly less.

Our poor driver got his dinner break, oh, three hours later than he should have.

I actually used the bus time productively. Speaking of which, time to go back to work.
