Hmm, free energy yesterday from twelve until two. Twelve midnight until two in the morning that is. Hard for me to use, best I could do is time the tumble dryer to come on which might have woken me up. I like to go to bed about nine, especially when I'm working in London, as I was yesterday.

Busy day at work yesterday, but good, I do enjoy going into London at the moment. If it didn't cost me about ninety quid a go I'd really enjoy it. I nearly missed my train in, as I struggled to find a free parking spot, and was running a bit late anyway. Just made it though and got my preferred seat, but oddly there were two free seats at the table opposite me. This rarely happens. Standing room only after the next stop though.
I got presented with cake at the end of the day, for five years long service. Very nice, it was vegan chocolate and raspberry cake and we had it after tea last night.
Happy Halloween. I was at The Darkness this day in 2002, at Highbury Garage. This felt like a big one, was with their new Must Destroy labelmates, so not just them on their own, possibly for the first time. This band are going somewhere, these boys can play!
Light rain showers and a fresh breeze, 12 - 15℃.
