I had an interview in Covent Garden today and so trundled across the road to the bus into Southend, caught the 9:46 to Liverpool, the circle line train to Kings Cross and then the Picadilly line to Covent Garden. After catching up with "Smartteachers" I went to visit the bank and opened an account. Then I bought a combined usbdrive/mp3 player so now I can download various news (e.g. abc.net.au) and listen to "home" to catch up with news (VALE Don Chipp). The whole trip took about 8 hours and cost £15 in train tickets, £16 to post a hefty package home, £1.60 for coffee, £5 for a "phone home" card (see picture taken at "The Strand") and £28 for the usb/mp3 player. I then spent 3 hours on the phone getting car insurance quotes, and I think the RAC will win that particular war. Tonight I will check if my potential new wheels (Peugot 406 2L diesel) is encumbered (still under finance), tomorrow or friday it will get a mechanical check, and then...presto...I drive...
