After my wonderful travelling experiences last night (see previous long-winded thread) I am more than prepared for the heart and soul wrenching attempt to get home tonight and have a warm dinner.

And if I repeat this often enough, I might even come to believe it.

But it's still 40 minutes until I can clock out, and 30 until the train I want to catch - punctually for a change - leaves Hannover.

Hopefully there will be no one on the tracks tonight; the train will be handed over on time; the doors won't fail; another train won't have to overtake it .. anything I've missed out from the "sorry but" catalogue?

Check the Fahrplannerapp as we prepare to leave: your train left on time!

Check the fahrplannerapp as we are halfway to the station: your train left five minutes late!

Check the fahrplannerapp as we arrive at the station: count yourself lucky, this train has a 60 minute delay. But your train is on time...

Not wishing to tempt fate or anything, but....

Only one (count them on one finger) one minute late.

It's early days yet....

I am having a better evening than the family trying desperately to reschedule a Sixt booking. Two languages, five telephone calls, and now they just hope.

Meanwhile, the next stop is mine, and I'm hoping my connection will work too....

Waiting for my connection. Then it's just a few stops, out into the cold for a brisk walk home, and a warm dinner.

Three drivers all at the same time. What could possibly go wrong?

Looks like my fateful journey today, the bad side, was taken over by the other family and their Sixt problems.

I feel for them.

Fate must be, in this case, male. No multitasking.

As we set off on time, and probably with my last toot of the night unless it all goes west....

I have decided that my superpower of the day is being able to suck the chocolate coating off Maltesers.

Speak the good things into existence, yah?

@kelvin0mql

Still wishful thinking. Still, if I expect the worst, based on experience, at least I won't be disappointed.

@uc
Hah! There you go. You, me, and Eeyore being of the same mind.

Well best of luck anyway.
