Monday (Day 55 / 45 to go...)

H2b got away ok at about 5am (ouch!) - I slept for a bit longer but finally got up around 6.30 & pottered around. Finally managed to get the bike out of the garage last night but needs the tyres pumping up & h2b had left the pump at work. Really should have my own so decided to pop to the shops at lunchtime & pick a cheap one up, that way I can try to get out on the bike this week, which must be a good thing.

Work was busy again - am off to Edinburgh for a meeting tomorrow which isn't helping as there's a lot to prepare for that as well. The flights are a bit of a nightmare, my meeting is 2-4pm but the only flights I could get (at a reasonable cost, anyhow) were the 6.25pm back which is ok, but the 7am out! This means having to hang around at Edinburgh airport for about 4 hours until my colleagues arrive! Checked the airport website though & they do have wifi access points around the airport, including in arrivals, so this means I can get some work done whilst waiting for them to arrive. If that doesn't work I have a load of notes to read through & write up, so it wouldn't be the end of the world!

Popped out at lunch & managed to get a pump, plus a few bits of ribbon to make the fascinator for h2b's Nana, but didn't get a chance to do anything with either! Didn't finish work til 8pm, took a half hour to make & eat my mushroom poppadoms then had to get everything ready for the morning, dive through the shower & sort my suits out. Tried on my 2 best suits & horror of horrors, they're both way too loose. Luckily they're skirts rather than trousers, so I can just get away with one of them but the jacket looks enormous on me! Will get away with it for tomorrow, but will definitely need to sort something else out for the trip to Paris in a couple of weeks!
