Liverpool at dusk

The light looked beautiful over the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool this evening. It's my first trip to the city so I was thrilled that the sun was shining.

I'm up north for client meetings for two days and this evening I'm stuck in a hot hotel room with air conditioning that doesn't work, windows that only open half an inch and a toilet that keeps flushing of it's own accord - and all I wanted was an early night. Hmph!

My room is at the top of the hotel and all I can hear is the constant chatter of seagulls, such is the glamour of business trips hey?!

Lots more talking today at meetings and sipping lemon and ginger tea non-stop in between to try to ease the pain of my sore throat after commentating for the third consecutive weekend.

Feeling a bit flat after all the excitement of the weekend and longing for a holiday. Only 7 or 8 weeks to get through then I can have a week off to relax.

For now I'm trying to relax with Classic FM on the big plasma screen in the hotel room and ignore the sauna like room temperature...
