I keep waking up at 3.15am.Why is that?I have had plenty of time to try to work it out as I try to find the off button for the brain.Don't know why.That's 15 minutes after noon Melbourne time.Not even my lunch time ... as those upstairs will tell you.I eat at 10am or close to it at work.Bit frustrating.Anyway, have managed to go back to sleep .... eventually.Mum, turns out I packed a bit too light.Only got that cardigan and the grey hoodie to wear round L...

Fun Pub Crawl around the Monopoly Board.There are a lot of traffic lights in London.Ready to shoot out the door and down to breakfast by 7.30am.Great breakfast!Lovely dining room.Hotel is just great.Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, yoghurt, a banana, orange juice and a hash brown.And then, just quietly,went back and did some of that all over again.You need fuel, you know.No point trying to run on empty.( LOVE the person who came up with that!)And the coffee is go...
