Today was a good day to...
Work.
Seriously. It's been over a month since I sat in an office and did a solid day's work, and, although it's weird, I sort of miss it. So, after a bit of (welcome) badgering from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pinkshifter, I went into Cowley St (LibDem HQ) and helped out with a big pile of data entry for next months spring conference. Lots (and lots) of forms.
It felt just like being back at the old place, except the data entry didn't feel completely pointless. Plus, picking up forms filled in by journalists I've seen on TV, or bloggers I've read, and updating their details was, weirdly, cool. Metmooism and others for lunch, went to the Regency Cafe, a place so good it's the main picture on the Wiki entry for greasy spoon. Decent omelette, pile of chips and a whole pint of orange juice (in a traditional milk bottle) for under a fiver. Bargain, that's cheap by Devon standards, let alone central London; I'll go back there again. At the end of the long day we went for pizza in the Pizza Express under Millbank Tower. As that's no longer where Labour have their HQ, no apparatchiks to strangle, but, y'know...
Only downpoint was the tube home; took the District to Earl's Court, but then had to wait half an hour (along with most of the platform) for the Wimbledon train, loads of enpty trains went past to the other stations, but one for us? Not a chance. Right; off to go download the new extensions you've all been recommending me in the previous post, ColorZilla looks good straight out of the box...

Point of interest: A friend and I set ourselves the challenge of eating a whole catering size tin of beans (2.6kg) in less than a day. We almost did it; it took until breakfast the second day. I was impressed.
