Went for a wander at lunchtime yesterday and came across the Lloyds building, which is utterly fab! It's got pipes and glass and metal and glass walled lifts which go up and down the outside. I want to have a play in the lifts! Actually, as you walk along Philpot lane (where my office is) you can just see it protruding over Leadenhall Market and the old buildings across the road which makes a fabulous contrast especially at dusk when they light bits of the Lloyds building up. It's very cool basically.

I am once again thinking seriously about a car. It would be very cool (I know - I'm an evil polluting capitalist) and I could (I think) use it to drive to work part of the way (stopping at Hillingdon and getting the Met line the rest of the way) which would allow me to sleep in a bit more but I'm still not sure. I think I'll have to sit down and do some serious budgeting, see exactly what I can afford and stuff...

1) Yes it will, but not quite as much as you think according to my roughs. I have a cunning and fraudulent plan for the tube tickets so that it won't be a huge amount more. Plus, I'll actually have something at the end - a car. Much depreciated, but a car none the less which I could use for going riding, visiting parents, etc.

2)See below - I reckon I could probably wake up 45mins later

3)True, but I think that (from past evidence of myself) the extra rest would be significantly more effective than dozing on the bus which, nice though it is, is not really proper sleep.

4)I've never found it stressful - it calls for a certain zen alertness though.

5)Sadly true
