One day at a time

Been out and about for the last two days, driving around the state, visiting water entities. Glad that's over for now

Got a message from Kel in Sydney out of the blue. It was a nice surprise. Put in my objections to the revised planning application for 17 Taylor Street. Not sure it will make any difference but at least I have had my say.

Didn't take long for work to piss me off, although I should try to be more kind or at least fake interest. On the plus side radio wad fun for the most part.

Had lunch with Graham, before heading over to the hotel. I've been upgraded to a double. Having a quiet night in.

Had a great time and Atle was a delight, so nice and friendly .

Met my Norwegian online contact and I had a delightful time. We chatted, he showed me around part of his city and also his apartment.

Took ages to drop the car off, first there were road works and then no spaces in the require floor. Hopefully I didn't damage the car driving around the car park, the spaces were tight. Now on the train, in first class. Not really taking advantage of the options available like food and free drinks. The seats are wider, power points and there is free WiFi.

We went into town to pick up one thing and ended up buying something else. At least my dad now has the lightweight jacket he's been looking for.

Both sisters came down to see me and my dad over the day.

Spent good part of the day with my friends Richard and Graham, mostly eating and chatting. Unfortunately I am not a very good guide for Nottingham but I do know where to go for good tea and cake.

Catching up with a couple of friends from London here in Nottingham on Saturday and I think we will go to the Trip to Jerusalem for lunch.

Spent the day on something fun for me although had to travel to Sheffield for it, but it was well worth the trip and picked up the cheap noise cancelling earphones on the way back.

Went back to the Magna Charta in Lowdham to have a meal with my sisters, their husbands and my father. Good meal and interesting conversation.

Took my dad to see the twins of my eldest nephew. They are very quickly approaching the terrible twos stage.
