i was back on the 6.23am train so i could take a few photos as i walked to my 9am meeting down by london bridge.  i got the tube from paddington station to westminster and spent the next hour and a half walking up and down the south bank.

my first meeting was with a chap who used to work for me years back and it was great to catch up with him.  then i had a coffee with one of the partners at Ofcom in the cafe in the Globe theatre

i had lunch with my old boss at Sky which was a taxi drive away.  and it turned out the taxi driver was about to move to australia so we had a good conversation about moving and families and things as we went along

i had a little more time on the way back so walked to a train stop and then got the tub up to warren street for my final meeting of the day

jane tells me she left her sister’s house this morning and drove down to her friend Julie’s house (Julie and family visited us in NZ almost exactly a year ago).  there has been much nice children playing and chatting so that’s good.

they are there for another night before we all get reunited on Friday!
