Great night at Quaglinos for @Charles send off to the USA. Baled out early. I must be getting to be a lightweight. Thing is I know Charles and @Wayne will have had a late one and I can’t do it anymore 🙂Now sat in my room before meeting @Dave for breakfast. Funkypancakes on the menu 🙂 If you know you know.

V enjoyable catchup with Dave at breakfast. Sbeen ten years. Now sat on’t train ready to depart having caught the bus to Kings X. The seat I had reserved had three other people sat on the table so I took the executive decision to move to the next, empty one. The girl sat at the window looked the spitting image of that one from Little Britain. Her bag laid on the seat next to her. Bloke moved it up to the overhead luggage rack in order to sit there. She complained saying it contained her tablets. Glad I moved to the next table.
In the news is the $56Bn pay award for Elon Musk. before anyone says anything you should bear in mind that we are talking dollars here not pounds sterling so in reality it is quite a bit less. As the sole shareholder in my own business I might give myself a similar award, subject to available funds obvs. Will check later. I don’t look that often. Should be careful what I say here. I don’t want a load of spongers sending begging letters 😀
Bloke with a hangover sat across the aisle from me. He has removed his shoes and buried his head in his arms slumped forward on the table. Late one. Pink socks. In the seat in front of him a girl has two phones, a newspaper open at the sudoku page and a Robert Peston book. I am wearing my new IoM TT 2024 tee shirt (dark blue).
Looking forward to a spot of mundanity when I get home. Get a load of washing on, water the garden. Stuff like that. V therapeutic. Pile of post will be waiting for me which should include my latest book purchayse. You will have to wait to see what it is but itsagoodun. In the same genre as the History of The Adjustable Spanner, Wood Identification and other classic reads.
Now had to don headphones. A woman further down the carriage is talking loudly on her phone “what’s your membership number?”. She had reserved a seat opposite me but fortunately moved elsewhere to be able to keep her eye on her suitcase. Listening to Stairway to Heaven which doesn’t quite drown her out. Might need to up the tempo a little.
Hungover bloke has changed position. Now slumped back in his seat, head forwards, chin on chest.
Oh joy she is getting off at Peterborough.

A v pleasant heavy rain is settling on the shire. Hung the washing on the airer in the utility room. What foresight! Doubt we will be sitting outside in the Strugs later but who knows?
