7 day travelcard
Purchased 7-day zone 12 travelcard last week, and used it for this:
Thursday
Worked in Holborn at a solicitor's office. Flirted on IM with girlie. After work went for quick pint, which turned into whole evening of drinking and then walk across London Bridge. Went back to Guildford.
Friday
Mother at home in the morning so hung out with her a bit, then off to the big city to work some more.
In the evening went back to Guildford with the intention of having a quiet night with family. Series of 'interesting' SMSes and then phone calls from increasingly less sober girlie.
Saturday
Wake to apology arriving by SMS.
Went walkies around London to take some touristy pictures - up the tower at Westminster Cathedral, east on the bus to St. Pauls, up the dome there (godless heathens must pay 8 pounds to get in), then across the millenium bridge (fine example of British engineering - delivered late and didn't work - seems fixed now, though) and around the Tate Modern.
In the evening, ditched father and went to meet old college buddies - same crowd as last week, with the addition of ginger mancunian Danny. Went to Brick Lane, in the east end, for a couple of beers and a curry. Turned into a lot of beers and then curry as 2300. Was going to stay at James' but turned out more convenient to go back to Guildford. Woke brother up to collect from station at 0200.
Sunday
In Guildford. Didn't get out of bed 'till 1500.
Monday
Up bright and early to continue my Visual Basic / MS-Office adventue. In the evening was dinner with egyptian friend Golestan (who I met in Scotland, and last saw in Hamburg in March a year ago). Then stay with James.
Tuesday
More work... project almost completed... just needed a few more minutes work, but I did not want to be late for all-you-can-eat sushi in Soho, with Cherie and old university friend's little sister. After sushi, walked down Charing Cross road, across the new hungerford bridge (maybe called something else now), along the south bank of the Thames, back north across the millenium bridge, to Monument station where we were to meet James... turns out James has more important beer to drink than beer with us, so instead walk back south again over London Bridge... deposit accompaniment into the national rail system... Jubilee line to Canada Water, which used to be my regular tube stop, then east london line and district line back to James'. Cup of tea and bed.
Wednesday
10 minutes of work, then mess round with home PC from afar as antidote to all this Windows. Lunch at All Bar One near the Tower with grrl. Waterloo and City line back to Waterloo, then to Guildford; once in Guildford: shower, sit round, drink tea, in bed with laptop, etc.
