Travelling On

Karmacat

When it reopens, that'll be a good trip, beanie

I managed to speak with my brother, nice long chat, hurray, and had a pleasant surprise with an existing savings account, it already had my new current account details, so I sent a fiver through to make sure they were linked up, and when I see that, I'll send through enough to qualify for the monthly payment. Then, over the next few days, I'll send through lots of that probate dosh to the existing savings account, separating things out a little bit.

I need to do that with my post office savings account too, that has a better interest rate.


ETA - odd situation on my currency exchange - £1 has bought E1.11 - E1.12 for quite a few months now. Today, £1 can buy E1.14, much better! What a shame I don't have to send any money :rotfl:

Ooh yes, airports are like train stations (although I think they're more romantic!). Last time I was near your local airport Karma I was being a passenger on the back of a 100-year-old car on the dual carriageway through the middle of it - I did wonder what the people waiting for the buses at the airport must have thought! :rotfl:

Yes, train stations are good too. I like St Pancras. If we go to London, we normally go in via St Pancras these days, as there are good loos, lots of places to stop for a coffee, and as it's an International station, there's the additional feeling of the excitement of foreign travel

I doubt its going to be this week, sadly - instead of two Yellow Warning days at the Met Office, there are now four :eek: i.e. from now till Friday! 0 centigrade is the high point in temperature terms :eek:

We had some snow last night, but most has disappeared now. However, with all those weather warnings around, I'm fully braced for more!

Good morning then

Concorde is now at a site about maybe 40- 50 miles from me.
When we tried to go it was closed.

Thats a few miles up the road from me but I've never been

St Pancras is lovely nowadays, yes! When I worked in West London I was really getting fed up, and I used to spend my lunchtimes at Paddington, just drinking in the atmosphere

This is about the Concorde - you have to go, teapot, when you're well Tomorrow, I'll be off to the local Sainsbo to spend the rest of my Nectar points (tho my kitchen will give me lots more ) and then on Friday to the airport.

My new cc has arrived, so my last job (after a quick detour to Westeros) is to pay off the cc, which might take some jiggery pokery, as its a new number. Juggling ahoy

No, I was out so long at the bank, the tiara didn't quite gel :rotfl:

Don't think so ... one of CR's littleuns was wearing a tiara, and I commented that I could do that round the house - I have a plastic one from Claire's Accessories
I'll put the tiara on my desk as I go into the office this evening, so I can put it on first thing tomorrow
:j :j :j

I am wearing my tiara :rotfl:
I was slightly concerned I wouldn't remember I had it on if I went out to the bin (at the front of the house) or something, but it pushes in to my hair a bit like a slide, so I can feel it enough to remember its there :rotfl: mind you, it would give passers-by a bit of a laugh on a day as cold as today :rotfl:

I popped out before sunup (tiara-less) to take a photo of the moon, with a planet either side, very impressive. Photos are rubbish, but they'll remind me.

Not going to post a to-do list: I'm finishing off leftovers from yesterday, and I'm not going out in this when its so unecessary, the walk to town in the cold really took a lot of energy for me. Might do a bit in early afternoon when its "warmed up" :rotfl:

I wear my wedding tiara (that makes it sound ridiculous!) sometimes around the house

The planets were Venus and Jupiter, so Radio 2 informed me!
