Traffic south was pretty crap, but I made it to the Interesting Conference in the end. Everybody's overrunning, so we're getting a very brief break

Oh, and I maintained my unbroken record of getting the parking space right outside the hotel entrance

Thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening be. Well, it's yuck here right now and it's The Dog (tw)'s birthday and she can't stand thunder.

I can't hear rain here though there was lots of lightening.

I did that once by accident here - the council had reconfigured the bay since my previous visit, moving the disabled spots slightly further away from the entrance to make room for the business permit spot, but adding an extra disabled spot in the process. I arrived, pulled into what had been a normal spot, and it was only as I was checking in that I looked out of the window and realised

I scuttled out and moved the car into the business permit spot (before 6:30pm) as soon as I'd got checked in

Back at the hotel now after a very entertaining evening, topped off with a pint or more in the Dolphin Tavern, just over the road from the hotel. I've never been in there before because it doesn't open at weekends and I'm not often in the vicinity of the hotel if I'm in London during the week

One hundred and one years and six days ago, the pub was destroyed by a bomb from a Zeppelin. It was rebuilt (obviously, this isn't a Brigadoon-in-Holborn scenario) and on the wall is the clock from the original pub, badly scorched to the face but still clearly showing the time 10:40, when it stopped as the bomb hit.

Goodnight all
