You just have to love the announcements in our trains: "We have left the station with 22 minutes delay. I have no idea why, because no one could give me a valid reason. Obviously, communication isn't working today. Well, I cannot help it. Let's try to make some leeway."

10 minutes after that the heating went off. But, we were still moving. Back at home one hour late with cold feet. [emoji16]

Ah. No. There is always something weird going on. Trains that break down, electric doors that do not close/open, children playing on the railroads, construction works, the list goes on. Today the electric wires were damaged. Not in our direction, but we suspect - because no one really knew - that they closed down the whole traffic because of that. [emoji58]

Better to be safe I think even if it seems over cautious.
Glad feet are warm again!

Yes, absolutely. It was just funny to watch the traditional delay drama. [emoji3]

Well, men are DEFINITELY more dramatic than women.
Every little thing is either FINE or THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.
No happy medium.
Men are way more gossipy too.
Too bad they can't work and flap their gums at the same time. [emoji6]

This sounds remarkably similar to my phone call, to a security service, yesterday.
Wherein I received an important number to call.
Followed by, "I haven't used this one for awhile. It may or may not work."
Omg, I felt secure. :nuts:

Glad you're home safe.
