Not a very exciting day. I went to work, where I worked on a variety of projects. Turns out my boss won't be here the week after break which means no work for me!!!! That also makes are travel plans to Scotland a little more flexible. When I got I made some dinner and banana bread and dis research for trips this weekend. I am already set on Windsor for Sunday and I'm now thinking of possibly going to Dover on Saturday (if the weather is good otherwise I'll go t...

When I got there Ivona told me that Felicity had just called and said she wasn't going to make it in so I ran errands then went make to the flat.

I'm going to be traveling every weekend between now and when they are due so I'm trying...
