I had a good journey, but am really glad I came a few days early and that I've said 'I can't' to about half the things people wanted me to do in these few days. The long trip and the heavy baggage have set me back to where I was a few months ago, movement-wise. I'm not on pain relivers today, though, which is a rather big something. It means that all I need is a couple of days of taking care. I can't stay in bed (alas) because I have to adjust to the time differences, but I can do 3 hours activity over about ten hours, wiht many breaks to sit and admire the flowers. I shall be admiring the flowers in the vicinity of St Pauls and Cheapside and will do some work for my Medieval London course.
Bottom line (for those who worry) all is better than it could have been. Although right now, 24 hours of sleep would be lovely, I shall take my day slowly, do the important stuff and not sweat the rest.
Yesterday my camera decided it would never work again. The power of SF fandom is such that someone fixed it (the battery was playing up - I took the battery out for an hour and now it's fine). This means that there was no jam today, but there will be jam tomorrow.
And this post was brought to you by both the University of London and the ANU, for technical reasons. I log into the University of London secure system (which is a big plus - I can eat breakkie in the basement refectory, check my email then do stuff) and then acess most other things through my own university. It's all a bit odd, though.
If I sit here much longer, I shall sleep, and what I need to do is find a phone shop. There were none visible yesterday. None. I walked many miles (well, 2, but I hurt) and there was no shop. For anyone Londonish who needs me, I'm at Connaught Hall. I'm mostly not, though, so phones are important.
