Travelling

I'm on the train to Woking and it's very early. I'm off to visit my
Twin (I'm twinned with a consortium delivering Diplomas) and I'm
heading there extra early so I can sit in on their weekly planning
meeting to see what it's all about. It can be quite a disadvantage
never having taught so this kind of thing is a way to keep my ear to
the ground, finger on the pulse etc.

It's only the start of today's adventures though as I'll be heading
into work after this, then going out for a nice meal before getting
the train to Gatwick and flying home. Did you know the Gatwick Express
(£15) is only 6 minutes faster than a normal train to Gatwick (£6 if
you buy an advance ticket)?

My tube journeys have become much more exciting lately since I
downloaded the Classics application to my iPhone. I started by reading
Alice in Wonderland and have now moved on to Robinson Crusoe. I'm
really enjoying RC, I love how surprised he is that a savage can be
kind and how much he despises the Conquistadores. I'm slowly getting
through it in my 50 minutes on the tube each day but I can't bring
myself to read on my iPhone when I'm actually at home. I've also been
cycling more in the past few weeks. It's becoming noticeably easier
and faster which is nice.
