At the hotel, as this week I'm trying out the idea of doing the journey both ways on Wednesday.
Next Monday I've got the dentist in the afternoon. I originally said I'd come in for the morning, but that was nearer the start of the contract when making a good impression still seemed like a plan. Now it just seems idiotic to drive down here for a maximum of four hours of work before driving back, so I think I'll just tell them that, unless there's something urgent they're keeping secret until Monday morning, I'll take the whole dayComment

I arrange my dentistry for 9a.m. wherever possible.
Otherwise I'm worrying about it all day.Comment

In the pub, which is made even more pleasant by the fact that so many other people are sat out in the garden, not in here
Though they're a civilised bunch here. I saw that Mary Beard in here onceComment

I'm rather touched that, after three years, certain of the bar staff here still remember to write "(no salad)" at the foot of my food orderComment

Back at the hotel
I'd rather be at home, but at least I can have a look at what's going on in there (nothing, thankfully) on my phone, which certainly wasn't a practical possibility when I was down in Bristol this time eleven years agoComment
