Thanks strictest. I’ve suggested this to them, and hoping it’s ok, I’m stupidly upset by it, which is largely displacement upset and anxiety about something else entirely, but it’s still a lot of money. :(
In happier news, I’m now in London. I’m clearly becoming very wussy with age. A few years ago I was flying to London a couple of times a week, and to Paris and Madrid at least every couple of months, whereas today I felt ridiculously scared. I’m now in the hotel though, all unpacked and having a coffee before I walk to the uni to check my route for tomorrow. DD will be down about midnight tomorrow after she finishes work so I only need to be very brave for 48 hours.
