Another day in London


Not the best night’s sleep, living in the country as I normally do, the sound of the jumbo jets coming into land at Heathrow Airport between 4:30 and 6:00 is quite disturbing. Although at home when the combine harvesters are going throughout the night at harvest I sleep through it, as does Mike.

He also slept through the earthquake on Tuesday night, although it woke Lynn and I. Lynn says that it was a similar experience for most of her friends at work.

Mike chaired the roundtable at the Obis Omni event today – he moaned because they only had bacon sandwiches on offer for the breakfast start. The tables were nearly round and it looked like the people were all just having a chat – I had a little sleep.

The event was near Blackfriars Station so we got the First Capital Connect service back to St Pancras International station and walked across to Kings Cross to get the 13:33 Hull Trains (which is also owned by the people who run First Capital Connect – I know which I prefer).

Got home about 5:00 ready for a good cuddle with Imogen and a nice long sleep. Next week Mike is taking me to Luxembourg for a meeting with people from the European Commision. Some of his friends say it is a ‘gravy train’ that means we are not likely to be happy, because whilst we both like trains, being vegetarian, neither of us likes gravy.
