And I staggered in before 8; plonked myself down and got on with a mountain of work. 
And that was the morning - the phone rand, i wrote reports and I sent e mails. 

At lunchtime I dived out; 30 mins of sunshine - armed with a camera. I also bumped into Bob - not spoken for 4 years in spite of his crap post break up. Cordial but cool. 

And an afternoon which was best described as manic; lots more trying to drag people forward; always good to talk down the next level up and prove them wrong when they think they're right. x 3. 

And out at 5; cycled up the Royal Mile with Nic who I've not seen in an age; then to hers for smoked salmon! Persiana chicken and fennel stew! And a micro sponge pudding. She's still 10% off so I was out sharpish having done most of the dishes.
