Red wine headache today - not good. I'm staying at my favourite hotel in Leith and went over to Michael & Christophe's last night. We had a great time, but my head hurts today...
Had a heck of a journey up yesterday: an hour and half queuing on the M25 at the Dartford river crossing, because the southbound bridge was closed due to the wind, and so the two tunnels, usually for northbound traffic only, were being shared. Instead of being very early this was going to make be about on time for my first appointment. I made up time on the A1, then discovered the Forth Bridge was closed and diversions via the Kincardine Bridge were going to delay me about an hour. So from about an hour and half early at 7am, by 5pm I was going to be an hour late. As it turned out the Forth Bridge, when I got to it, was open again, and the rest of the evening went smoothly.
There is something seriously wrong when you pass a petrol station with diesel at 113.9p and think, "Oh, must remember that one, it's quite reasonably priced."
I realise the irony of what I have written above: it is perhaps Better For The Planet that fuel prices should be high, and the fact that they haven't been, historically, may account for the type of weather that closes motorway bridges up and down the land.
Oh, apparently there is a Surf Bus which leaves London at 5.30pm every Friday in summer heading for Cornwall.
