  • Reminder for tomorrow.
  • Pretty annoying.
  • Just gone over QE2 Bridge. Surprisingly easy. No delay at all.

    I left early this morning (before 9:30) so that I didn't have a repeat of the Orient game disaster.

    No problems whatsoever and was parked in Charlton by 12:40.

    Makes it a bloody long day though ☹️

    Sorry Briston, I shouldn't laugh. At least you'll be alright for seeing the game this week.
