Cosplaying as the grown up I am clearly not. Old and fat and a guy.
+1 grownup point to me. Wrapping underway, and at no point has the sellotape been told to fuck off.

Rolling this one out again because it's my favourite #Christmas thing I've ever written

(mildly erotic, not super filth, mostly cute)
Christmas at Waterloo station: erotica in a train terminal | Girl on the Net
Waterloo station erotica, you say? A sexy story about all the hot things people are thinking as they rush to catch their trains? That's what this is.

Unsupervised until Christmas Day, it's 9.40 and I've already gone to a café, had a coffee and considering a breakfast roll.

Absolutely not because I saw a breakfast roll go past just now.

Waiting for tyre place to sort things out.

Meantime, coffee at beach café, watching the single small fishing boat do it's thing.

Today has not gone well.

Quote apart from (waves hands) all this, and Chris Rea, I hit a pothole.

Then I caused a hazard on the dual carriageway when the tyre completely disintegrated and I had to abandon my plan to drive home slowly.

Sigh.

Sea at night, lit by reflections off the clouds, with bonus wind farm lights.

Cookery day.

Make-ahead for Christmas bread sauce, sausage stuffing and cranberry sauce (none of which I'll get to eat, so made extra :-) )

Also made cottage pie for dinner tonight.

Kitchen is a bomb site, much cleaning underway.

2 pints at lunchtime has hit me harder than I thought. Hic.

Off into London again.

For a week of annual leave, I've done a lot of miles and a lot of meetings.

Definitely just doing shopping after this though.

Not even opening Teams.

Unless I get bored and lonely in London.

Then I might.

So, at the end of the allotted 3 days of work, new boiler is 90% installed and 0% working.

At least the kitchen electrics are working again.

I am in a hotel in Nottingham with a bag of Maltesers, having had a hot shower, and am feeling the glare from Herself at home even at this range.

Summary of birthday weekend.

Lots of lovely wishes from nice folk here.
Gifts from both sisters of the "thoughtful assorted small items" variety.
Cookery school voucher from work folk.

However:
Roof leaking.
Garden room leaking.
Boiler failed.
Kitchen electrics failed.
Herself in a right strop.

Contemplating my plan for tomorrow.

Do I go for early start, early train escape, and home, or lounge until check out time?

Today was quite lazy...
December 4, 2025 at 10:22 PM
So the curry was indeed fabulous, and I am now going to head back to the flat, as I have used up most of my bravery points on two solo meals in public today.

Solo dinner, the hardest bit.

Have chosen Thai Square, and just ordered the house special Andaman curry. Stand by for reports.

My being alone is being masked by the huge office Christmas party table next to me.

Lazy breakfast near Cannon Street, baked eggs and Stuff.

Prices set to let you know how trendy this place is. Surprised they let the likes of me in.

I'm fully expecting it to be delicious and therefore worth it.

Right, good morning London.

See you're still wet and full of people.

I'm in need of plans for the day, starting with breakfast and coffee.

Then I reckon finding something to do tops the list. Winter Wonderland? The TfL museum (someone specific may have feedback on that)? Wank in bed all day?
December 4, 2025 at 8:28 AM
Blown it again, failed to plan anything to do this evening, so ended up doing nothing.

So, bedtime already?
December 3, 2025 at 10:19 PM
Checked into my flat. Actually really nice, right next to Mansion House, and 6 floors up, so quiet ISH. By

However there's a full length mirror at the foot of the bed. I can see myself. Not a fan.
December 3, 2025 at 7:09 PM
Right. Off to London until Friday lunchtime.

Managed to pack in one small laptop rucksack plus CPAP machine satchel, so that should help on public transport.

Good morning from an airport hotel. Free breakfast is underway, and it's mostly families and student-age groups. All the tables for 1 or 2 are free... Save for me.
December 2, 2025 at 7:36 AM
Right, time to get my shit in order for the week.
Monday- Gatwick office, then drive to Nottingham, then to Manchester airport, ETA 7pm.
Tuesday - all day delivering training, then drive home, ETA 11pm.
Wednesday, into London, do corporate event, then check into flat.
Thursday - tbc

Thanks to a broken boiler, elderly parent hospital appointment, and work, my big birthday celebration of 50 is going to be me, in a flat I've booked in central London, for 2 nights next week... On my own.

Sod it, I'm going anyway. Mostly because it's non refundable.
November 29, 2025 at 10:53 PM
Installed in Vienna. Most customers have been packed off to bed, and so I've had a few cocktails. Hic.
November 18, 2025 at 11:31 PM
Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Vienna I go.

Lots of hosting (drunk) customers which means I have to be reasonably sober.

Who wants a toblerone from the airport?
