Getting Tired

Don't know if it's the cold, the travel, the nice warm room or what, but I'm feeling pretty dozy again this afternoon.  Mind you, it has been nice to be in the one place for more than a couple of days and just take the chance to do very little, sleep a bit, without feeling too guilty.

We went out to the Olympic site today, went up the tower for a look around.  Nothing too remarkable but certainly interesting to get a better sense of the scale of the city.

Unfortunately my camera battery chose this morning to go from well charged to completely flat, so the pics below were taken with my phone.  Still, not a bad effort.

We headed back in to the city after a bit of a wander around, had some lunch, and then I left Garry to the boxing day sales in search of warmer clothes.  I came back to the hotel for a bit of a nap and to finish booking things for the next part of the trip.

I have a hotel and transport too and from Edinburgh booked now.  I'll be meeting Owen in London on the 29th.  We've cancelled the road trip to the Lake District as that seemed a little risky in the current weather.  Instead we'll spend a couple of days with friends of his in London before heading back to Oxford for NYE.  From there I head up to Edinburgh on the 3rd.  No real plan at this stage other than to wander around and look at the city.  Then it's back to Owen's place at Oxford on the 10th so I have a slightly easier means of getting back to Heathrow on the 12th.  Then it's overnight at a hotel near JFK (New York) and home.  All things going to plan I'll be back in time for brunch at XXII on the 15th.
