busy day today for me despite lots of rain
left the house and slid along the street to the railway station at 5.50am to get the 6.20am train.
then walked from paddington to russel square to meet a chap called russel
then had two meetings back to back which were really useful before heading up to the university for the annual face to face meeting of a technology journal. i’m on the technical advisory body for the journal and i’d not managed to attend a meeting in person so it was great to be able to meet everyone
then i whizzed across town (via Piccadilly Circus to exchange the shirts i bought last Friday for ones which were the correct size), past buckingham palace (queen was in) and over to the internet service provider association for my last coffee based meeting of the day
finally i met up with an old colleague for a chat over a beer which was good too.
unfortunately my journey home took over two hours due to the train getting stuck in broken signals for half an hour. 
so i got a taxi back from the station to the house as it was getting quite late.
jane and the girls are having a good time in nottingham.
today she did library, lots of wiii (mario cart), school runs, shopping for winter clothes and doing a christmas jiggy.
