This lifestyle will self-destruct in 24 days ...

I did the perfect Hollywood run yesterday, in my opinion even better than Tom Cruise's effort from MI3! Sitting in a boat bar on the Thames and having drinks with friends, I looked at the clock and realised it was a matter of minutes to get from there to my bus home. Now I know why Tommy and I did that 10km run earlier this year ... we sprinted to Embankment and the tube driver arrived right on his cue. Enough stops to catch my breath then continue running to the bus station. Yay, 5 min to spare so I bought myself some food. Went to board the bus and, oops, that was the Citylink depot, not the Megabus which I was booked on. It was the quickest run I have ever done and I managed to be the last person on the busy bus yet still get 2 seats to myself. Mission Completed. Successfully!


But that was not the real mission. The point of my fly-by (by bus) visit to London was for a job interview, and I got the job. I shall be working with young adults who have spinal injuries, it's a new challenge, I'll see my parents, money is good, flexibility is even better and I shall get to see a lot of England!

I have 24 days left as a proper Edinburgher.

Time to Rock n Roll baby!
