The night train

The only excitement during the day was down to a brief excursion to get a flu vaccination; we were told to stay seated in the waiting room for 10 minutes afterwards, to make sure we didn't explode or something.

In the evening we called in at the Vaults for me to purchase a bottle of malt to take south to be presented to a colleague next week - then I headed up the road to the station. This is the view across the buffet car in the sleeper, ahead of its departure from platform 11 at 23:40 (the gin and tonic was on the table opposite; I had chosen a Balvenie for my nightcap).
