While my fellow Americans were off enjoying an extended weekend, I enjoyed no such festivities. Today was a regular day at work. The other Harvard intern (also 2009) joined today so I spent some time orienting her. I also found a valid reason for why I needed to spend an hour at Harrod's (across the street). I'm trying to find appropriate companies that might use Corrour Estate as a promotional prize for their customers and wanted a quick survey of outdoor gear and apparel -- since the estate is essentially in rugged wilderness, it seemed like it would align with the brand for fancy outdoor / sporting / active clothes. It was a successful voyage into the tourist-laden, Prada-selling behemoth of a store (full city block square, 6 stories up). Also developed a list of family friendly movies to be included in the DVD library for the cottages.
It rained like the dickens today. Wonder what the derivation of that expression is. Back to work tomorrow and the rest of the week. Trying to plan a weekend day trip if Steven comes to visit me this weekend (Dover? Canterbury? Brighton?) Depart for Scotland on this Sunday for a week... really excited to go back, despite my job being "man the office and answer the phones".
'Tis late, good night!
