Back to work and feeling rather tired … yesterday was a hectic day.

I started by spending the morning in the office, then got on a train to spend the afternoon in ICE (off Parliament Square), then went to St James Palace via CHQ (badges for yellow blobs). My feet hurt a lot by the time I got on the train home so I took my shoes off for some relief… but feet are still a bit sore this morning.

The President’s Reception at St James Palace was good, I caught up with quite a few GOLDies as well as one of the people I went to NZ with. Sophie stayed in our room for all of 5 mins (it was meant to have been 15 but she had arrived late so rushed through the room, we wondered if she’d had to see the mother in law on the way between CHQ & St James). The alcohol flowed a lot, but as I had a car at the end of the line I had to restrain myself and move over to the fizzy water. The canapés were very small and pretty … but very yummy .. top bites were the Chocolate brownies squares and the pork dim sum (the satays were meant to be good but none ever seemed to come our way).

I got home and pretty much went straight to bed (Dr T was already in bed), but still seem really tired, at least it Friday so I can have a lie in tomorrow!
