Day Zero – Digest

Twitter

Here's a record of my tweets from Day Zero – I've reversed the order so that it makes more chronological sense on a blog! I haven't really started yet, today's been more of a positioning move.

  • Not a hugely auspicious beginning - I nearly forget to catch my train, and already I've forgotten my sunglasses. 6:24 AM
  • Suprisingly quiet at the airport today, even though there's a big Virgin jumbo parked at T2. Never flown domestic from T3 before. 6:47 AM
  • http://twitpic.com/3idyi - Nice view out onto the runway from T3 7:15 AM
  • I didn't think there'd be many people on the flight. Logic dictates otherwise - if my seat is 20D that must make 80. The Q agrees with that. 7:35 AM
  • Boarding now. 7:51 AM
  • Unofficially on a bus already - into Inverness town centre. Double decker, just like in Manchester - but with seatbelts? 9:37 AM
  • http://twitpic.com/3iihd - Upper deck seatbelts 9:51 AM
  • I hope there's a pub showing the English FA Cup in Aberdeen 2mrw. Don't really fancy Motherwell v St Mirren. 11:19 AM
  • http://twitpic.com/3io0h - Far North train - leaving in 7 mins 12:49 AM
  • Wow - no welded railway lines up here. You can feel every joint. Stunning scenery though. 1:09 PM
  • http://twitpic.com/3iv8t - When in Scotland... lightweight girders? 3:00 PM
  • Right. I'm in Thurso, settling down for a night at Sandra's Backpacking Hostel. Early start tomorrow - 0650 departure. 5:45 PM
  • Tomorrow's itinerary: http://is.gd/taCi 5:46 PM
  • http://twitpic.com/3j91b - Proof of my arrival in Thurso. I may try for a video tomorrow. 5:48 PM
