Well work finally intervened in my travel schedule this weekend so the day started with some document reviews at home over breakfast. Still with some shopping to do it means I can check the local shopping at Mario Plaza as it’s closed on Sundays when I’ve been in Bucharest to date (as are the vast majority of shops).
The shops here are very “posh” with prices to match and I have to say it’s a bit of a strange place – maybe it’s the poor coal-miner’s son from the valleys in me! Unfortunately the mission is to secure a yellow tie for Sunday’s Aviva Pensions Launch, in a suitably Aviva compliant yellow, and of course the only suitable one is at the most expensive store! So this clearly calls for more extensive research and I set off around Bucharest seeking alternatives. Two hours later I’m back where I started to buy a horrendously expensive 35 quid tie and on the way home so I can do some more lovely work.
The rest of the day was quite frustrating as I set off to The Dubliner for the Wales v Australia match, arriving in time (I thought) for the start of the match to find Wales trailing 23-10! It dawns on me that the official website carries French times for all games so I am an hour out! Unfortunately I am in time to see Stephen Jones’ howler finish off Welsh hopes and add to the already gloomy atmosphere.
Things got worse as the Chelsea game coincided with the Mighty Bluebirds so it was a quick dash home for the depressing first hour of the game, before the magnificent fightback to grab a point – well done Thommo!
So not such a bad end to the day and at least it’s another day off tomorrow – LOL!
