Quiet time

Didn't feel up to brunch today and had a quiet day in the apartment. Starting looking at options when I move and where to stay. 

Retired early

Too tied so have headed for bed.

Hastings again

Had lunch with my aunty down in Hastings, with my best mate too. Treated them both.

Third week

Finished my third week and like what I'm doing but not sure I'm pulling my weight yet. Feel a little lost keeping track of all the requests for information. Brought my white boards back into action to help me.

Suffering

My own fault, but really suffering tonight with relentless diarrhoea.  I definitely need to avoid onions and peas together in a dish. I sought of knew this would be the result of the meal yesterday.

Dinner Dave

Has dinner with my old mate Dave, who I hadn't seen this year. Sadly he looked tied, with his mum in a home and little work expected.

Taxing

Tax return has been submitted. Online and web based now.

Quietness has returned

Another quiet weekend. I did have brunch with Paul and that was the highlight of the weekend.

Not a happy soul

Not in a happy place, just off slightly. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. 

Waiting for service

Car is two years old and in for its first major service.

Holding the Man

Touching modern love story

Second week

Not sure how useful I am at work, although this is only my second week.

Full auntie day

Spent most of the day with my auntie, lunch and shopping. I think she enjoyed herself.

Massage and ready for bed

Has a massage and now ready fo sleep. Good night before I fall asleep.

Full on week

Radio twice, dinner out last night and massage tonight. Plus auntie and mates over the weekend. 

New role ??

Taking a while to get my head round the new job. Following instructions but don't feel like I have a handle on what I am doing yet. 

Finally feel back to normal

Taken a while to get over the effects of the jet lag on this trip. This is the first morning where I haven't felt particular. Hope I will be able to stay awake longer today too. 

Long transit

Spending 9 hours at Bangkok International airport waiting for my connection to London.

Leaving London

No Tube services today, no problems so far. Can't say the same for my flights, the Brisbane leg has been rescheduled and I'm now flying from Bangkok to Melbourne, after a 9 hour stop over!

Lunching in Convent Garden

Decided to be a real tourist and have lunch in Convent Garden

Short day in old London town

I planned to be a tourist today, but my plans were cut short by the on set of my usual problem. I had at least made it into the city and walked down the Mall had lunch at John Lewis's before the troubles started. Unfortunately I've spent the rest of the day in the hotel room :-(

Walk in the country

Panic stations

The tube to Marylebone took a lot longer than I expected and I nearly missed the train to High Wycombe. Other than that its been a very nice day.

London transport merry go round

Had to give up on two routes back to Balham, first the train from West Dulwich and then the train from Tulse Hill. At least the rail replacement service from Tulse Hill was free. 

Sad day - Cilla passed away

Didn't believe it at first but has been confirmed by her agent that Cilla Black has died. Only 72 to be taken away. 

Balham lodge

Arrived at the Balham Travelodge, the rooms are not as generously sized as the Stowmarket one but still comfortable. My room is at the end of a corridor so far it has been remarkably quiet.
