Up and out ridiculously early today, heading down the motorways to Staines for a planning meeting around the contract work that - might - be taking place shortly. It's a long drive to Staines (just south of Heathrow, just off the M25) but it's the 'right' side of London if you're driving from the North West, and the public transport option would involve cars, trains, tubes and taxis - and around as much journey time as the drive.

Rest of the journey passed without incident, and I ended up getting to Staines just on eleven. Enough time for an hour's chat with the FD about the assignment - and for me to confirm my interest - subject to progress on the permanent role that's still lurking in the background. We've agreed a way forward, agreed charge-out rates and expenses - and will make a final decision on Friday about whether to proceed or not. The company is still talking to other people about the role, but I do get the impression I'm the preferred candidate again.
Which is nice.
Journey back passed without incident, and I was home for half three - just enough time to churn out yesterday's blog and to prepare for the evening's entertainment.
Looks like being a Masterchef week this week, as the semi finals get underway. Two chefs head to head each night, working in Michelin starred kitchens and cooking their own stuff in the studio. For a while it looked like the Scottish lad was going through, but in the end 'Simpering Sally' (as we fondly call her) made it through to the final. Bring on the next one!
Here they are at Glasto in 2007 - yes, it had been raining. Dig the jumpsuit though!
