Friday August 31st

Having decided that catching the first subway at approx 6.40am to get to Central Station for a 7am train was pushing it a bit, I called a taxi at 6.20am.
At 6.30 I get a call to say that the taxi is there.
Well I am standing outside and I can tell you it's not.
Turned out the taxi-driver had gone to the wrong street! So they'll send another.
Arrived at 6.40am - but got me to Central Station at 6.50 so that was okay :D

The train ride down to London was great - lovely views and to top it off I had a fantastic book (refer my earlier blog "Open Your Eyes").

At the other end, the tube ticket to Turnham Green cost me the same amount as my taxi fare to Central Station, Glasgow.

Running on memory only, I recalled that I had to catch the District Line to Turnham Green and turn Left. Um no, that was supposed to be turn Right, I realised sometime later...
So met P. and had soup and tea before we went out for coffee with her friend. Dinner at the house with M. and then a walk around the streets. Which was all very relaxed and family like :D - something I've been missing...
