The M6 is open!

Regular commuters in the West Midlands may already be aware of this, but junction 6 of the M6 has re-opened. For the first time in about six months, it only took me an hour to get to work on Friday. Increasing my joy was the fact that I was able to leave early, and the journey home only took an hour as well. The least time I have spent commuting for a good six months or so.

However, normal service resumed yesterday morning. I needed to be at work by 8.30, so I left at 7am as usual. The first forty miles of the journey took about an hour (pretty standard). The last ten miles took ... an hour. I got to work at nine, and spent the rest of the day in a flap because I was late. It was definitely Monday...
