Am in the Leeds field office this afternoon. Yesterday afternoon my colleague Sue and I caught a Virgin train from Newcastle to Leeds. As a first class ticket was going to cost us about £10 more each than standard, we went 1st class. This meant that we have comfy seats, as much tea and coffee as we could keep down, or water or juice. AND a snack !! cheese and pickle roll, chocolate biscuits, fruit. We arrived in Leeds and walked to Jury’s Inn. I asked for a room as close to the top as possible and found myself on the 9th floor having a wonderful view across the city. sue and I ended up in a cocktail bar that did tapas and dim sum. There was little veggie option so we summonsed the chef and had our favourite chinese food prepared for us. Plus two cocktails each. It came to less than £15 each so well within our expense allowance. Back to the Hotel where I watched an episode of Hotel Babylon which I have never seen before. And then....to bed. Woke up at 7am and at 8am met sue and we went to a cafe we found on our way back theprevious night for a very large veggie cooked breakfast for 4.95 which included a very large mug of coffee. This was cheaper than the breakfast option in the hotel. We came to the Leeds field office, set up the training room, the IT equipment etc and after the 2.5 hour demo session we then had lunch and now I am here typing this. I would *love* some naked male company tonight, so if you read this, and feel desperate, let me know.
