Hickory Dickory Dock

........ I'll meet you at 2 o'clock.

I should have slept like a top last night, as I was really tired and the hotel bed is probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in. However, I woke at about 4am with the irritating dry cough, and sore throat and ears, and a raging temperature.

Took some more Beecham's and tried to get back to sleep, but I just kind of drifted in and out all night, and must have been a wee bit away with the fairies, because I thought I had got up and had a shower and put my clothes on! Felt better after an actual shower, more tablets, and some breakfast.

We hit the town running; straight to the station and dumped the cases and shopping bags in a locker, then into the centre and split up, agreeing to meet here under this magnificent clock at 2pm.

Ha ha! For once in my life, I got somewhere first! Marion turned up about 10 past 2, and we went for a bit of lunch and then a little more shopping, and then hopped on the 10 to 4 train home.

I managed to read about 4 pages of my book before I fell asleep, and snoozed most of the way down the road.

Just finished supper now, got one or two things to sort out for work tomorrow, and then I think I'll watch Celebrity in bed again.

Feeling pretty pleased with myself, although I still have several significant presents to buy, but definitely have done the majority so well done me!
