Down tools

Today was my last day at the office until next Wednesday. I’d love to say I was off somewhere sunny, or even off to Reading Festival, but unfortunately I will be up to my neck in tile adhesive and grout as Bathroom™ – Phase III gets up and running.

When I return to the office I’ll only have one day in Savoy Hill House then it’s off to a new studio in über-trendy Bermondsey Street. When I was a nipper, and even fairly recently, before I actually worked in Central London I was convinced it would be fantastic. Like living in a film. Shops, bars, rubbing shoulders with major tourist attractions every day. Of course the truth is expensive shops full of tourists, expensive, tourist-filled bars and rubbing shoulders with tourists every minute of the day. The nice view on the way into work really isn’t worth the hassle.

I went out yesterday lunchtime and took some picsof the Savoy area of London to make sure I had a record of my short time there. I got nothing but hassle from tourists.
