Rat race

Demanding week packed full of meetings with corporates. Monday was the ambulance service in Hereford (bizarrely housed in an old rectory where one of the Jamie Bulger murderers stayed awhile), Tuesday Cisco and dinner with a view over the Thames, Wednesday a presentation at the national statistics office, Thursday the Savoy, and the end of the week was a visit to Toyota in Derby. Today I took the train from the newly opened blackfriars station. As you can see shiny new train (12 coaches long - exciting enough to warrant a special sticker) but the ceiling still literally a building site.
How did people manage before they invented weekends????
