Today was Michael's funeral, but I couldn't join the zoom as it was at 5:30am UK time. Unremarkable day at work (from home). Logged off at 5:15 or so, as we had to drop off a courier and pick up a wreath for our inner door (because one cannot be too Christmassy!) Back home a little before 6, quickly got changed and set off again - my friends Jay and Namratha had invited us over to dinner. It was raining, we were running behind schedule, buses were running behind schedule, and refreshing the bus timetables revealed the bus that ran nearest to our home has been almost discontinued - the last service leaves at 5:51pm! There was also a 1 hour wait for a taxi. We finally got a bus, and reached an hour late. Had a yummy dinner, and a drink or three from Jay's collection - it was a limited edition whiskey that had to be ordered a few years in advance as they only release a batch every 5 years! Well worth the bus ride (although Shruti might have differed on that point). Don't remember when I slept, but it definitely was late!
