Fri, Aug 8th


I ended the week by catching a bus to work and walking back to the station in the rain. In between I had another crap day. However, I was still feeling pretty good because we were able to release 80% of the cheques that I had had drawn to our suppliers. Over the last two weeks I had promised countless suppliers that we would have a cheque out to them this week and up until this morning it didn't look like it was going to happen.

Dawn ended the week in her new office just off Goswell Road. Her department are being temporarily relocated to facilitate the school of journalism. In October they will be relocated to their permanent location. In the meantime she has to work in an open plan office with no partitions between the desks and shoulder to shoulder with one of her bosses. Worst of all is that they have no air conditioning. So if the temperatures get as hot as they have recently then there are going to be a lot of unhappy people there.

For dinner I made some home made fish and chips with a difference. The fish was made with soya flour and the chips with sweet potato instead of regular white. The deep fried chips came out good. But the soya flour seemed to burn too quickly. Next time I'll try with wholewheat flour instead.

A late night for us tonight as we watched a recording of the opening of the Beijing Olympics. The two thoughts that crossed our minds as we watched the games unfold were what an incredible job the Chinese had done with their ceremony, and how the hell is London going to be able to create an opening ceremony worthy of the Olympics?
