We went up to Dundee this past weekend for Jacky's graduation. Not that we actually got to the graduation. And for once out lateness was not our fault. The train ride should have been and hour and 18 min. Rather than take the train that would have only given us an hour's leeway we took the one before that giving us a whole two hours to spare (and the train station is only 5 min walk from the building where the graduation was taking place.) This meant getting up at 6:30am, but we managed it. We got to the train station with time to spare even.
Then a train broke down outside of Perth.
To cut a long (and boring) story short it took FIVE HOURS!!! to get to Dundee.
We did, however, make it in time to get the formal pictures taken with Ron in his kilt (yay!) and Jacky in her PhD robes. And we stuck around to party and celebrate. Hurray for Jacky! She even had her picture on the front page of the paper! That was very cool.
