A hectic day today preparing for this weeks 3-day trial in Croydon. Worked solidly in the morning with telephone conferences and emails constantly going to and fro. More appalling weather today - torrential rain and warm sun making the grass and weeds spring up everywhere. This afternoon I eventually left home at 3.30pm. and arrived at our clients offices at 5.30 p.m. for an hour and a half's consultation on the bundles. Thunder and lightning in Surrey! I arrived at the hotel which is our base for the next three days at 7.30 p.m. with our counsel, Michael, joining me at 8.30 p.m. We went over to the nearby "pub" ("The Gypsy Moth" - see picture) for what can only be described as a mediocre dinner (pan fried chicken breast and sausage and mash) but an acceptable bottle of Rioja. A good conversation - it was good to chat together tonight about sport and the state of the world as well as about tomorrow's case. Both feeling tired so off to bed quite early. a long and interesting day tomorrow in West Croydon.
