Watched TV, had some dinner and went to sleep.

You asked for it.

The lion's head is just like my door knocker at home. I had to hold my brand spanking new Blackberry out over the Thames to get the shot.

It's actually still uphill for a little while. Unless you are a pro athlete, your greatest earning years are still ahead of you. These days twenty-somethings aren't really taken seriously.

Here's dinner last night.

Maybe I'll download all pics and post a travel thread when I get home.

My office is about 100 yards from the site of the IRA bombing of St Mary Axe in the 90's, which led to the building of the Gherkin. The new Baltic Exchange is exactly opposite of us.

Here are some of my pix - where are yours Jen?
