Sometimes you feel happy to carry a camera around. I had to give a wedding speech on Tuesday. I decided to use the computer (and a 3M Pico Projector I’d bought especially for the occasion). I wanted to use images, but had to either use stock photo’s or re-create scenes as historically I wasn’t able […]
It’s nice to be back home. I find travelling in many countries in Europe stressful due to the lack of organisation on things. Pisa airport was a nightmare. Note helped but that screwed up European system of queuing to pay first (queuing is one word for it, rabble another), thus having to memorise what you […]
Today I’m working in London (Holborn). A really nice office, making me realise that I’m happy to be out of Engineering and into a more business environment. Even the staff in London are friendly ! Train in was hectic as usual. 12 carriages and completely full. I should buy shared in FCC as they clearly […]
That’s 2 nights on the trot eating badly. Last night was Pizza from the local kebab shop. I feel now like I’m becoming a regular- and that really isn’t a good thing ! Sometimes you just need some pick-me-up comfort food. I must admit I did feel better after it. Tonight was worse. I’m traveling […]
This week has been a series of disasters in terms of travel….. Driving Side Mirror Wednesday evening: drivers side mirror in car removed due to some complete idiot driving at 90mph along a country road and deciding to overtake at an inappropriate moment. Swerved to avoid, but car wing mirror hit and torn to pieces. […]
Into London today again and of course the train is completely full. Actually, I should be grateful as the train departed late and I didn’t expect to catch this train anyway. The trains aren’t that frequent on Sundays as the poor train drivers aren’t paid enough and so have decided not to work overtime. I’ll […]
Visited London yesterday, late afternoon departure as the trip wasn’t planned. This resulted in getting the train back fairly late in the evening- the train being full of people who had a few drinks. I always find it difficult not to laugh when people are making jokes in public- in this case some pretty rude […]
Woke up this morning early and decided to head into London. I’ve been meaning to go shopping for some time (it feels so long since I’ve been in the west end). Of course this is a serious of error of judgement traveling on a day where there is bad weather (flurry of snow = bad […]
Tomorrow bright and early, looking forward to it as I haven’t been for such a long time. Hopefully some good food and views..
Arrived back home yesterday morning, of course usual mess trying to buy tickets (office was closed even though trains were running). Got back at around 7:30AM (strange experience on train with someone who obviously was ‘high’ offering to help me with my bags). Decided I needed some home cooked food, so picked up joint of […]
