Starting the day at Leuchars, originally uploaded by tobyaw.

My day started too early this morning with the 6.17 service from
Leuchars to Edinburgh (a First ScotRail Class 170 DMU). I was very
good and didn’t ring Kate when I woke up this morning. This is the
first time I’ve travelled to London with a first-class ticket; this
train doesn't have a first-class section. Should have better luck on
the Waverley-Kings Cross leg of the journey.

I’ll be in the office in Bishopsgate by lunchtime. I’m staying in a
hotel nearby tonight, then a full day in the office tomorrow before a
dinner with Gareth, Jane and Tim, and a weekend trip to Birchington to
see Kate and Beth (they are staying with Kate’s parents at the
moment). Back to London on Sunday evening, a stay in the same hotel,
Monday morning in the office, then an afternoon journey back up the
country.

This train appears to be stopping at every little station in Fife.

I’ve drunk more tea than is good for me, and eaten a veggie breakfast that was pleasant, if somewhat expensive. I was handed a copy of The Times; tried the crossword but I think I’m too used to the Telegraph — could only do half of it.

Think I’ll spend some time later updating my Friends Reunited profile.

Went out with colleagues to celebrate this evening. We sat around a table at a roof-top terrace bar in Shoreditch, drinking pink Champagne and eating food from the grill, while huddling under blankets and sheltering under umbrellas as the rain came down.

There were nice cakes in the office today, too.

I’m staying in an Ibis hotel this evening, on Commercial Street. The hotel is bright and clean, but the room has plastic curtains, and the bathroom is an odd ‘pod’ that looks like it was fitted in the room as a single unit. I think it is a French hotel chain. I wonder what breakfast will be like.

Only a 10 minute walk to the office in the morning.
