Dropped my colleague off on the way home on Friday and relieved him of laptop, mobile phone and credit card (no I didn’t mug him and leave him in a ditch). Swapped that for a gift that I’d bought him (we were both fond of quoting Fawlty Towers lines so I thought the DVDs were quite apt). He sent me a lovely message later on thanking me for both our working relationship and my friendship - made me feel quite upset. I felt quite flat yesterday, didn’t realise I’d anticipate missing having him around this much. Back up to Edinburgh first thing tomorrow, hopefully we can get all the planned work for this week finished within the week (although actually we were supposed to have done two days of it last week - oops) otherwise I can see me being home next weekend and then straight back up again. Almost didn’t make it up as when I called our admin assistant at 15.35 on Friday she said she’d forgotten that I (and another colleague) were going up Monday and so she hadn’t booked a car or flights!!!! When I told the project lead that I thought I didn’t have a flight he said, “Well you can just drive up.” Pfft. Feel tired (my own fault for getting up at 5 yesterday) and want to sit out in the garden but the weather’s a bit crap.
