One day at a time

Arrived in Tathra, after an overnight stop in Bairnsdale. Nice accommodation, two levels, bedrooms upstairs and kitchen/living space down stairs.  Apart from road rage, the trip has been smooth, but very long. Campbell is exhausted and he's just been sitting there.

Spent the weekend of my birthday in Sydney, the same as last year but this time it has been less fun. No one to meet and the show at the Opera House was underwhelming. I don't think I will do this again, certainly not next year at least. Plus Campbell hasn't has a good time with Oscar, who hasn't been very affectionate towards him. Hopefully he will be more attentive after spending a few days at the cat hotel in November.

The memorial service for my uncle Bill was held this weekend. Most the family attended and Buster was happy with how it went.

The trains were delayed this morning so no change there and I have to use Outlook at work but still also use Lotus Notes too. Picked up Oscar from Campbell and he is very confused although he's cuddle up to me on the bed.

Took 28 hours to get back to Melbourne. Although the seats on China Airlines were comfortable, I didn't sleep much. Crashed for a few hours on Monday afternoon and early to bed.

Spent the day in Graham's apartment, managed to get everything into the suitcase. Sitting on this one actually works. Graham put on a very good lunch, which Richard came to and one of Graham's friends. After they had left, Graham walked me over to Elephant and Castle train station, so start the trip to Gatwick. Apart from having to run to catch the train to Gatwick, it went smoothly and check in was easy.

Met up with my old pal Dave in Ealing and at an enormous email of chicken and half a lettace. Went into central London to find some soverniers for the office and chose coasters again, this time with view of London on them. I have bought twelve as I am not sure how many people will be in the group when I return, with two possible new additions. I walked from Marble Arch to Leicester Square, so I had lots of steps today.
