Train Job Day

Off to London this morning for another train job starting at ten o'clock from Paddington station on the Heathrow Connect service. Finish at 3pm and then a mystery shop at a Pret A Manger.

Both Resdent and Rounder Records were sold out of tickets to the Buck 65 gig tonight. Just hope we could still get in at the Sussex Arts Club.
