It was my birthday yesterday, and I ended up working until 8pm, so I only managed to get a few drinks and something to eat at the hotel. Rather than a night out in London.
So, I decided to 'work from the hotel' this morning. Currently sat out in the sunshine on the terrace of the hotel lounge, enjoying a leisurely breakfast and reading FT.
Very nice way to spend a few hours before my train back to Manchester

As for my Friday - the views over Cairo this afternoon probably aren't as stunning as those of Guildford (although possibly a little more lively).

POETS was particularly pertinent in the military, of course. Many people worked and lived on base all week, and commuted to their distant homes on Fridays. Beating the traffic became rather significant, as I knew well (Stanmore to Huntingdon up the A1 before the Hatfield Tunnel was built/completed). The queues of carriages and stagecoaches were an amazing sight.

TGIF
I am off today, so I will be watching Wimbledon, then get a takeaway when the misses gets home. It's a lovely sunny day in MAN so a couple of beers in the garden are on the cards. As far as BA goes, I am not flying until August 20th!

Off to officially start my summer... Having an incredible tomato (gringo auto correct) salad, with a Minuty rose and to finish a cheese platter...

Oh, you will then have to do ex-'EU' TP runs to the States once you're back.
You wouldn't want to be a Silver would you
