Another lovely day. A tiny bit chilly first thing, but
turned into a really nice warm day.
Mumble grumble grumble.
B%^%*$ Starbucks. This morning the connection was awful. It kept
dropping out even though at times the connectivity was good. Then at other
times it was very poor. What is it with them? Buckys is really going to pot.
First they begin to refurbish my regular store. That takes four weeks longer
that than the advertised time frame. When I go back there the layout is awful. Gone
are the couple of nice comfy sets in the window replaced by a bench set down
one wall, not much room in the store, but it gave the staff more room behind
the counter. So I abandoned that one as my regular and returned to the smaller
store. No comfy seats, but it was possible to tuck myself out of the way at one
of the small table and chairs.
Well will you look at that, a couple fo weeks
later my new, old, regular store is closing for refurbishment. This happens about the same time as I am
working at a different site. When I work there I have my morning coffee and
chat at the biggest store at Canary wharf. This store is full of comfy chairs.
So the following week I resort to the store with the long
bench seat until the newly refurbed store is open again. And when it does b&^%* gone are all the tables
and chairs, replaced by high tables and perching stools. And there were no
longer any tables outside.
OK back to store with the long bench seat. And the scenario
this morning doesn’t enamor Buckys to me at all.
Hmm I wonder which other café on the Wharf does free wifi with
the coffee?
I’m over it now, well almost.
I managed to get out at lunch time for a walk in the pleasant
sun, and very nice it was too. I sat for a while in one of the local parks.
Found myself almost nodding off in the warm. I guess I was a bit more tired than
usual today. Got woken rather rudely at half past five this morning by a very
painful cramp in my leg. Leapt out of bed and stretched it very very gently taking
care not to do it too fast and tear the muscle. Guess I will need a bit of an
early night tonight
