jack1. I probably won't make it out tonight, I'll have a sleepy evening in and save excitement for the weekend.
2. I was reading some of my oldest lj entries (and a couple of others). It does seem like all those years ago, it was more intimate, more unconvoluted, spontaneous chatty "Hey, I had a good time tonight" and "this is cool" posts, but has come to include more thoughtful and interesting posts over time. That's perhaps to be expected, but I thought it was interesting. And wondered if I should make an effort to be more chatty, despite the sprawling of my lj to more and more people I don't really know.
Theferrett said something similar. Many of his early posts were written when he was excessively depressed and wanton :) And were very interesting and uninhibited, but as many more people started reading his lj, he found himself stopping making such controvertial posts (Which given a recent furore is saying something :)).
3. Amsterdam trains are nice. They even have an online simulator of a ticket machine just so you can check you can use them in advance :)

All the best,

Date: 2008-05-27 05:09 pm (UTC)We were probably lucky: all the trains we saw seemed accurate to the second, and pretty much even the buses and trams too. I enjoyed it after England, where I don't rely on that any more :)
