not to visit the Queen though
I have an ITSPA Council meeting, postponed from March due to the clash with Convergence Summit North, fwiw. Now heading South on the 07.30 out of Lincoln Central. There is only one station in Lincoln mind you, not counting North Hykeham. There used to be a Lincoln St Marks, which was the station I arrived in Lincoln at for my post university job interview. They knocked it down to make a shopping centre and no Beeching in sight!!
I like these ad hoc days out in London although today I will be kicking my heels this morning as the Council meeting isn’t until 2pm and I get in at 9.26. I had thought I’d arrange something to do but didn’t get around to it.
Under these circumstances and with no takers on the offer of a cawfee I normally head to the British Library and do some work in the caff there.

Have arranged to meet the heir at his office for 11.30. Tom works at the Beeb. An early lunch in the BBC canteen beckons. Gourmet food no doubt surrounded by celebs. Ah the life in the full eye of the media.
Having put out a notice of availability the offers are now coming in thick and fast with dan Winfield offering to show me around Techhub at Old Street. He just missed out. Techhub is just a load of open plan office space anyway as I recall but hey…
The walk to Broadcasting House takes 30 minute according to Google. I will have two hours to get there so a pleasant stroll through the streets of London is in prospect. It’s a nice enough spring day. Best time of year.
The train has stopped at Stevenage. We are now en route again.
Note how these diary entries reflect real time. You are reading it after the event but the idea is to give you the effect of being there as it happens 🙂 Cool huh? I could take it further by putting timestamps in with the sentences but really am not that bothered. You will have to settle for the mix of words, written and spoken, and images still and moving.
Got to the BBC to find loads of kids queuing to catch a glimpse of 5th Harmony – a pop group apaz. Also paps outside Tom’s office to catch Amanda Holden, a celebrity!
Had lunch with Tom and Ubered it to the ITSPA council meeting. Arrived 30 mins late – I thought it started at 2pm but actually it was 1pm! Ah well.
That’s it for today.
