Incentives

I had a terrible journey to work yesterday and a tube journey that would normally take me just over half an hour took me an hour and a half. It seems I was not the only person with a bad journey, as most of my colleagues seemed to have a horror story of their journey to work. Perhaps London ground to a halt yesterday. I claimed back for yesterday morning and also a bad journey on Saturday night, which will take me to £122 in refunds for this year so far...

My overly friendly colleague came over and spoke to me at lunch time and told me had a present for me. He is Australian and had been to the Aussie Shop and bought me a Cherry Ripe, which was very sweet of him, as he had bought three others and ate those within a couple of hours of purchasing them. I had said to him last week that I might try and make some Lamingtons and so he is trying to bribe me now. There are worse things in life I guess.

I now have less than 100 pages to go of War and Peace. Technically I guess I have actually finished it, but there are two (!) epilogues to the book that total 100 pages. Nearly there...

kahless - thank you. I have now read the first epilogue and will read some more before bed by tomorrow I shoudl have about 30 pages of epilogue to go.

My review will be based on my ability to remember what I have read. It may be fairly sketchy...
