Rearrange

Up at ridiculous o'clock to head to Birmingham for a few days.

It was a bit overcast and chilly when I left Wales but by the time I got to Birmingham it was boiling hot.

I headed to our Stafford depot first, but I hadn't realised the depot would be shut because a crane lift was taking place. I had to rearrange my day and cancel a couple of meetings with my team.

So I headed to Fort Dunlop instead.

Disaster when I got to my hotel, I had discovered that my white shirt had been snagged in my case. I could get away with it, but now I know that it is there it would bug me. So began an adventure out in the Bullring to find a short sleeve white shirt. M&S, Moss Bros, Next none of them had any, so I had to venture in and eventually found a formal menswear shop. So I am sorted now and I even had an iron in my room. Result.

My young padawan turned up later and with a few others we headed out to Birmingham. An early night was required though.

Today I am thankful for:
