Today
twitter (feed #2) 12:42am What did I say about sun? Well that’s gone, and it’s now raining again. Luckily just got back from lunch before it really came down.

Yesterday
twitter (feed #2) 6:01pm First day in the office here in Eastbourne today. First, brekky.
twitter (feed #2) 8:59pm Done the tour of the UK office, now for a general meeting, then lots of geek-talk over the next few days.

Today
twitter (feed #2) 1:25am Bangers and mash and a port win sauce for lunch!
twitter (feed #2) 1:25am There’s been some sun today, even if wishy-wasy, but so good to see!
twitter (feed #2) 4:41am Day 1 of 2 in the UK office is now over. A busy day. Good to meet the cew here – a lovely bunch.
twitter (feed #2) 7:06am No photos to upload today. Am back at the hotel, catching up on emails. Had a dinner of roasted vegies, served in a flour tortilla on salad.
twitter (feed #2) 7:07am … good to have a healthy dose of vegies and fresh salad.
twitter (feed #2) 7:09am It’s 3C now (at 7pm), going down to -2C tonight, so I’m grateful for a warm room.

Yesterday
twitter (feed #2) 6:25pm I’ve uploaded a few photos taken yesterday. The flights went well. Was impressed with the Swiss Air service. Even the security people in
twitter (feed #2) 6:27pm Zurich were friendly. It was good to be met at LHR by Jeff, the driver, to take me to Eastbourne. I was so glad he was driving!
twitter (feed #2) 6:28pm It took about 1.5 hours, maybe less. It was dark the whole way – would love to see the view in daylight. Freeways most of the way, but
twitter (feed #2) 6:29pm getting closer to Eastbourne there were more winding roads, with little villages & picturesque pubs. It will be interesting to go for a walk
twitter (feed #2) 6:30pm and explore around Eastbourne today. First brekky downstairs. It’s starting to get lighter outside & I hear seagulls.
brightkite (feed #10) 6:40pm I can hear seagulls, so the birds think that the day is beginning, so I’ll head downstairs for brekky, then go exploring Eastbourne
twitter (feed #2) 6:41pm I can hear seagulls, so the birds think that the day is beginning, so I’ll head downstairs for brekky, then go exploring Eastbourne

Today
flickr (feed #9) 2:54am Posted 19 photos on Flickr. (Show Details)
twitter (feed #2) 3:08am Whoever thinks that travel is glamorous has rocks in their head.
twitter (feed #2) 3:09am It’s better when you get to choose where and when you go, but travel for work, with no say in those things is no fun.
twitter (feed #2) 3:10am I certainly would never choose to travel to the northern hemisphere in the middle of winter. Everywhere so far has been grey & gloomy.
twitter (feed #2) 3:24am I’d love to have a warm, sunny day.
twitter (feed #2) 3:55am Eastbourne does seem to live up to its reputation as God’s waiting room – a place for retirees. In the materials at reception downstairs are
twitter (feed #2) 3:57am adverts for “retiring with style” & for hiring mobility scooters – have never seen so many of these in the one day as I’ve seen today!
twitter (feed #2) 4:52am Just had a grilled chicken caesar salad delivered to my room. This IS one of the advantages in travel :)
