    I just gave Jack his bottle and put him to bed. I laid him down, gave him a couple of stuffed toys (his cat: “purr purr”, and his monkey: “ooh ooh”), and said, “night, night”. For the first time ever he said, “night, night” back. Superb.

    I’m doubly glad this train is air conditioned & that I’ve got my mobile office with me, as some idiot pulled the emergency stop cord as the train was pulling out of Bridgend station.

    Shit. I think I’m gonna get robbed. I’m a fucking target with all these toys. Too much nu metal breeding paranoia?

    Thank God for air-conditioned trains. I went running fartleks this afternoon, next to the sea, & then cycled to the train station, so on this is the coolest I’ve been for hours. Nice. Now if only they handed out free, ice-cold coke…
