working day 5

jane and the girls have had a day in the house with their friends at julie’s house.  she’s kindly let me share some photos with you (towards the end of this post).  their day consisted of playing then watching a load of dvds

i was back on the 6.23am train this morning.  this time so i can walk to st pancreas for an 8.30 rendezvous with Sam

Sam and i were at university together and haven’t seen each other for probably 15 years or so.  we dropped straight back in to conversation and it was a really great time.  we’ve facebook to thank for us finding each other again.

after i’d met Sam i got the Victoria Line down to, er, Victoria Station, for my next appointment

that was with Lucinda who works for a children’s charity.  after we’d had a coffee we went up a church tower to inspect london from above

i then went down to the cellar cafe where i decided i’d make conversation with a chap and we had a really good chat over our soups.

since my afternoon meeting had been relocated to 5pm i decided to have a photographical wander.  which i did

then i went to an excellent exhibition at the Hayward Gallery

somewhere along the way i had this german sausage

and then i walked back north to get to Goodge Street to meet with the chaps from Easynet.

on the way i popped in to the National Portrait Gallery to look at the photos.  Always excellent.

here’s me by my favourite photoing spot in london.  unfortunately the evening sun is quite weak (it is the winter solstice today) so big ben wasn’t quite a glowy as it could be.

my 5pm meeting went well and i left at 7.30 for a walk up oxford street to paddington station and home (via the fish and chip shop).  I was home by 10pm though.

here are Julie’s pictures [thanks to her for allowing me to post them]
