It was a sleepless night as the bed isn't comfortable and the clock/phone on the bedside cabinet gives out a brilliant green glow from its digital display! I might have to cover it with something tonight or hide it under the bed!
I decided to take a 'short cut' to Uni today. Given my famous propensity to head off in the wrong direction,this could only end in tears! It only took an extra half an hour!
As I had forgotten to pack my Russian dictionary I also had to stop off in the local Blackwells. That accomplished, I headed across the road to the archive. The file I was working on was huge so I decided to get right to it and start photographing. All wen well until the battery level showed empty. I only had a few pages to go so I carried on until the camera, with faultless timing, decided to switch itself of just as I was about to photograph the very last page. No amount of coaxing could persuade it to switch back on for the necessary 3 seconds. I had left the charger in the hotel so I will have to finish it tomorrow.
Therre was only one thing to do. Order up another couple of files and go for lunch. There is actually a Marks and Spencers exhibition on in the main foyer of the Parkinson BUilding! I might take a stroll through it tomorrow (couldn't be bothered today as I was grumpy about the camera!) I also have a sore back from standing taking photographs at a table that is a couple of centimetres too low! All I wanted to do was sit and have some lunch.
Having seen the size of the next two files I think I will have to find a photo shop tomorrow morning to buy more memory sticks. After these there are another 4 files I want to see before I go home. I will definitely remember the charger tomorrow as well!
I wanted to try a Thai restaurant tonight but it wasn't open when I went past so I stopped in Casa Mia again. Pizza tonight and a couple of well earned beers! I also wandered through the German market and will certainly go back before I leave. An interesting stall with hats needs further investigation!
