Four people. Left Omar (best friend since 2014, who travelled from Yoevil to be here and staying all week). Next, myself, the Margaret, one of the businesses I help through Bromley Libraries, come to support me. Last on the right is Jim, my close friend who came from Cardiff. Omar and Jim (unorganised) both ended up wearing tan trousers and white shirts. This means so much to have these people hear with me. I am wearing the MA Graduation Gown, but not cap cos I don't like things on my head.

Made mini honey breads (or in my case golden syrup cos thats all I had at home) while waiting for the electrician to come to the flat to do yearly inspection. I added sultanas to half of them - easier then I fear, maybe become a staple quick snack 😋 bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/…
Cooling rack on a kitchen counter. There is about 25 star shaped mini breads with varying degrees of burnt parts.

Watching Race Across The World thinking, "Wow, I'd be so good at this.... as long as my teammate allowed me to be in absolute control of all travel/logistical decisions." 😅 Altho, my inability to try unknown foods means I might just starve before the finish line heh

Go so excited when I saw the sign mentioned a Library, but looked everywhere and could not see :( Best I could find was a closed book store. Waiting for final flight. Heydar Aliyev International Airport to Gatwick :)
