Splat! Awake.

There I was minding my own business, fast asleep. Sleeping well, with very few mistakes. Then Splat! I was awake. W-I-D-E awake. I tried to ignore it, pretending it was a dream, but it didn't work.

Plan for today is Worcester. The Silver Vixen is coming along for the ride, and to look around the town and do some shopping. Should be fun!

Had a good run up to Worcester. Avoided the M27 and stuck to back roads, this meant that there were no length jams to suffer between Portsmouth and Southampton. Dropped off the Silver Vixen outside the Fownes Hotel at 10, just three hours after leaving.

She spent the next six hours or so wandering around the shops, concentrating on the craft shops. Needless to say she made several worthwhile contacts and has been invited to join some of their workshops when she returns. She said how much she had enjoyed the day and that she;ll definitely come back on one of my next journeys.

My day was ok. Unfortunately Esteeemed Client was still off sick, so was unable to talk to her. Minions, however, were very positive and interested in the various contracts for which they had responsibilities. All the meetings went well. Tinkerbell was there throughout, so we managed to get an account management perspective also. Managed to get away at a sensible time, though had to take a conference call in the car - this was to report on the secret squirrel activity and the meetings that had taken place between the A-list.

Journey home was uneventful. Again, about three hours from Worcester to the Fish 'n' Chip shop. Then a very quiet evening and early night.
