Journey times have been much better since Monday. If I race out of the door here at six, I get a train at Cannon Street that gets me home without changing for eight fifteen. Bit boring travelling on my own, but I'm plodding on with these book, and reading newspapers and things. And ACE, my tea's ready on the table when I get in, and the ironing's all done! As chum Ralph says "it's like living in the 1950's"...
You know that old saying "yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch, you can get one, and it will be free"? I'm not so sure it's 100% right. They offer a free lunch here at work, and I didn't expect it to work out for me (being a vegan and all), but the first day of stir fry was great, and hot, and free, and everything. Day two was some kind of moussaka, so I went out and bought an expensive sandwich instead. Day three I've no idea what the lunch was, as by the time I'd got down there (about twenty minutes after the starter pistol went off) everything was gone and it was all packed away. Yesterday's was toasted ham and cheese sandwich, or toasted cheese and vegetable sandwich for the veges, but I made do with just the side salad and fries. Today, who knows, I will brave it and report back. It's quite a cool place to work, I half expect them to do something funky on Friday lunchtimes, like open up a free bar and all start dancing. We'll see.
Playing more with JQuery1 and Drupal2 today, and having some really stupid grief with the zoom functionality of my google map application I'm building here...
Ooh, Gmail has changed today, bit of a neater layout and even more dropped shadow, looks nice... boxes have shadow on three sides though, how would that happen?
Hmm, The Harp Club has closed it seems it always seemed to be closed when we went past, but we didn't go past during pub hours really. Someone who used to do something there is doing some kind of all night party at Lanterns, that will be popular with the people who live there, the noise does carry from that place...

Weekend plans: off to Tunbridge Wells to pick up Habitat Radius furniture that I just bought. Maybe some christmas shopping, or maybe putting that off for a few more weeks...
