daemon days
Did the test 3 times, got a raccoon each time. Go on, pick me, make sure it’s right.
The Northern Lights books are good, though, I’d forgotten how good.

my travels in London
“Ah, right, so we take the Circle line to Victoria. Simple. Here’s the Circle and District bit. And here’s our tube now.”
“Are you absolutely sure, Abs?”
“Yes. Well, 99%. 98?”
“I think it said District line. We have to get to Victoria on time, Abbi.”
“That, Mother dearest, is because the Circle and District lines run together from Paddington to High Street Kensington. Don’t worry your head about it, you’ll hurt yourself. Tsk, District line indeed.”
The next station is Earl’s Court.
“… SHIT.”
“What?”
“We’reontheDistrictLineQUICKGETOFFTHETRAIN.”
“Abbi!”

“Ask this lady how to get to Victoria, go on.”
“No, Mum, it’s perfectly simple, look, we just double back to Notting Hill Gate and then take the train through to South Kensington, missing out Kensington Olympia, easy, we might even catch our train, now, let’s find another platform…”
“Excuse me, what’s the quickest way to Victoria?”
“That train just about to leave there, Madam, three stops and you’re there.”
“Thanks.”
“… Oh, VICTORIA. We’re going to Victoria? Well, I could have told you that.”
