As shows go, it lacked oomph.

Entertaining though.

As it turns out I didn't get to spend the entire day doing things I wanted to do (mostly involving feet, distance and rucksacks) but I did get a bit of a walk between-tasks through the searing heat of the town and even encountered another blipper and former colleague who was wearing a coat and quite a substantial-looking coat at that.

Four more days of work. At least I got the weekend away from the place even though the original plan to be in Ayr this weekend fell through; all the stuff that needed to be done was done here instead. Overtime is overtime but bags under the eyes and slumped postures and beaten expressions are bags under the eyes and slumped postures and beaten expressions.
