Cardiff in the sunshine.
Gorgeous. I ended up in a rather nice hotel in some new development area at the waterside, and the impressive copper clad Welsh Assembly building is just opposite. I’m off there in a bit.
On the train down here I met a business adviser type fellow from an outfit called Touch Financial which does invoice factoring as well as general business finance and stuff. We had a good old banter as I once worked at Griffin Factors donkey’s years ago when it was part of Midland Bank. We’d never even heard of them so I guess they don’t exist anymore.
It’s funny, we got on really well and I almost suggested we meet for a drink later as he’s only in town for the night too. But then some strange reserve kicked in and I held my tongue. I guess he did too so it’s not just me that’s quiet.
The first meeting is at 9.30 tomorrow so I intend to get up, have a decent long run, pukka hotel breakfast, and then swan along. I reckon I could be on the train east again by 1.00 ish. Fab. Home by 4.00. Unless something awful happens I don’t have any intention of going in to the office again.
Y’ll have to take the dog out on her own tonight. Even though the Barbican is about as safe as anywher in London she still doesn’t like the last pee before bed. Poor Pop.
