London

Interesting day today... up at 4:30 as had a work conference in London at 08:30.

I got there in time, and it was really good. Luckily for me, it was just a morning effort, finished at 12!

Had until 19:15 until i had to get the train home, so lots of time to myself in London. It was my first time wandering around London on my own. Why, at the age of 34, did it feel like such a grown-up achievement?

Well, that's where the grown-up achievements stopped. I was pretty bored. London seems great, but when you're skint & on your own.... there wasn't much to do. So I had a quick check on what trains my tickets were valid on, and bombed it back to Paddington (again, on my own, like a big boy!) and got there with 4 minutes to spare for the 15:15 train! Only to find out my ticket wasn't valid. Yeah, it's nothing to do with the boarding time, it's about the entire journey time. Next train it was valid on? The 19:15 as originally planned!

So instead of coming home or enjoying the sights of London, I had 4 hours in Paddington. Never mind, got some work done (and some more on the train home).

I normally hate my hair, but when I caught sight of it in the mirror tonight I liked how it was sitting, hence this blip. Although it's not been sympathetic to my face, I boosted the contrast to help define the texture of my hair. And a rare glasses-on one, given my efforts of late!

Now... very sleepy... bed beckons!
