Weekend, much welcomed

So after a tiring (but not remarkable) week at work, I was looking forward to the weekend and managed to have a really enjoyable one.  Friday was due to be unremarkable but my very nice man was working from home so we were able to have some time together and also catch up with a friend at lunchtime as well as him getting done more reading than he could in the office.  We had a quiet Friday evening, cuddling on the sofa whilst watching American comedies and a very early night, both falling asleep before 10pm. 

Saturday we went to the Travel Show at Earl's Court.  If I didn't get free tickets from a magazine subscription, I wouldn't go as I don't think it's worth £12 entrance unless you knew you were going to book a trip that was highly discounted.  However, as I don't pay to get in, and I pay to commute into London each day so travel at the weekend doesn't cost any extra, I think it's an okay day out.  We went to listen to the photography talks and these were really good - particularly because there was a separate theatre for photography this year so they could give more time to those.  The celebrities weren't really an attraction, so we didn't bother with any other talks but did browse some stands and also get a half-price guidebook for my next exciting trip - El Salvador in November.  You may not be surprised that there aren't many books on El Salvador so I have 90 pages from Footprint which give me a little bit of information to help getting around.  We were pretty tired yesterday too so got home for dinner and more American TV (crime shows on a Saturday) and another early night.

This morning we woke up to lots of snow and with a heavy heart, my very nice man put off his daughter who's been living with him Sunday evenings to Thursday mornings and has booked a hotel near work because he's got to be there all week as he's leading work with lots of visitors expecting to see him.  He's headed off to get there before dark and whilst we've had a nice day, breakfast and late lunch together, with him going home in between to get a week's worth of clothes, it wasn't at all what we had planned. 

Myself, I've also got to think about work tomorrow - a little bit of snow gives a lot of scope for public transport to go wrong.  We were lucky on Saturday - partly by design because we didn't want to stay out too late - but reading comments on various websites, I can see people on my line were stuck in London waiting for trains on Saturday night and there have been delays today too.  I'm not foolish enough to think that I'm so important I have to be there tomorrow but I have a team and need to set an example. 

I'm posting this with a nervous eye on the rugby - Wales is in the lead with seconds to go.  Can we hold on - that'll be a nice end to a pleasant but somewhat odd weekend!
