Various- High Voltage Artists
Up early as ever but, this morning, last night’s Indian, despite its very tastiness, seemed to have conjured forth the Trumpets of Satan...
The Doc was perfectly able to partake of the usual hearty breakfast though, while your correspondent restricted himself to fruit juice, grapefruit and a small bowl of cereal...
Checkout was subject to another delay re exactly what we were supposed to be paying, eventually walking a way having paid the agreed rate...
Into London, having failed miserably to work the touchscreen at Cambridge Heath and therefore having to walk to Bethnal Green Underground – where the ticket ATM proceeded to shut itself down half way through my card transaction for today’s travelcards...
So, following the use of a second machine, it may well be a 2 for the price of 3 scenario...
Out into Oxford St and a present purchased for the Exec Producer – speciality chocolates had been on the menu, however, something much better made its way into the Cloudland Blue Small Rucksack...
On down to Berwick St and a return to Sister Ray and Revival – nothing bought...
As the unforecasted rain came down, we took refuge in a nice Italian Bakery/Café where my breakfast continued with a wee pastry and we both enjoyed a latte, the Doc using his mobile internet to try and locate any reviews in the media of the weekend of rock – to no avail...
We then sheltered in a bookshop, where an appropriate present for Mrs Prog was partaken of – this was followed by further avoidance of the ever more heavy rain which resulted in a wander around HMV at Picadilly....
A hold up with the trains at the nearby Underground decided us to traipse back up to the surface and walk back to Oxford Circus, stopping off on the way for a pub lunch...
Thus we missed the earlier bus to the airport but were at the front of the queue for the one which was due to get us to there on time...
This time the journey lasted the expected hour rather than two...
...and, after a quick check in and a short wait, we were on board and on our way back to Edinburgh...
The Exec Producer picked us up at the airport and we took the Doc back to the Surgery of Prog, bidding my partner in crime a hearty farewell, before heading home for a night of picture uploading and TV watching...
Sustenance comprised a very tasty steak, backed up with a zingy salad - good to be home...
Highlight of the Day : Back home...
