Blog ā‰« 2022 ā‰« In London tomorrow. Or am I?

I'm due to be in London tomorrow, but no-one else is. No-one from my team, no-one from my department. So what is the point exactly? An hour and a half's travel to sit on my own with my headset on. I have a call with some people in Ireland mid morning, and I have some work to do that cannot be done in the office, so I've cancelled my train ticket and will stay here. I've lost my parking money, that's gone, and thing two still wants to go to breakfast club anyway, so that money is not really lost. Still if I get away with this I'm still seventy quid in pocket, plus what I would have spent on lunch and coffee. I just wrote sausages there, and I don't know why. The others are watching Red Dwarf in the other room, maybe someone just said sausages.

Not going into London means I can run more easily, and dropping thing two off at breakfast club gives me an even better chance. I've done 11km today alone, so I am ahead of the game. A run on the treadmill in the morning and then another outside at lunchtime. Is that 29% done? Or more.

Happy Star Wars day. On May-the-fourth exactly twenty years ago was The Darkness gig at the Bull And Gate. One of the last ones before they went (briefly) stratospheric I think. But I could probably look at the listings and disprove that, and see the carried on playing pub gigs for ages after this. Still, good times!
