Tuesday

It's getting really rather warm in London, to the extent that I'm actually rather glad to be getting out of the country tomorrow with temperatures looking set to rise to the point where work in our office is nigh on physical torture. The day passes nicely, despite the heat, particularly as I help to set up the projector and laptop for tomorrow's England game and get to watch a little of South Africa humiliating an imploding French squad by two goals to one - sending the French home in fourth place and Uruguay and Mexico through.

Another amusing incident comes when the MD gets back from lunch having apparently taken a drink and decides to start moving the office furniture around. It's not a productive day - but it has that nice 'last day of term' feel before we head off on holiday.

In the warm of the evening K and I walk over to Ant's house to pick up a memory card for our new digital camera and to drop some CDs off with Tim. It's nice to have a stroll in the evening, especially as we're looking to knacker ourselves out ahead of an early night, but it is still really, really hot and we get home totally puffed out.

An 'early night' tonight actually involves us staying up past midnight watching old movies and eventually we make our way to bed, excitably eager to pass the five hours before we get up again.
