Wednesday.
A terrible night's sleep, the good wife had a migraine after work, so nobody was very content.
Meanwhile, I've gone from having a single planned outing next week for work to going to Liverpool at the weekend, Birmingham on Monday and London on Thursday.
Friday: Liverpool is a volunteer trip to show refreshable Braille to a primary school student. I'm going alone, so maybe some reading time on the train! And I get to expense my travel. Was only about £30 return on the train, which for about 240 miles round-trip seems pretty reasonable to me!
Monday: Birmingham is to get a phone battery replaced in the work iPhone, very important. Not sure how easy I'll find it navigating New Street without any sighted help, but I'll give it a go I suppose: what's the worst that can happen? Google maps wants me to walk a couple of hundred feet. I have legs, I can speak up and ask for help if I need it. I am not going to refuse to get it done just because nobody I know can accompany me. #BigBoyPants time. Anyone have experience of #Apple's #GeniusBar if you are #blind, by any chance?
Thursday: It's Global Accessibility Awareness Day, and work are putting on a to-do. In reality I don't think I have much to do but stand around looking blind and answer the odd question.
WeWalk, Microsoft, Be My Eyes etc are all turning up, so it'll be a bit of schmoozing but sadly no boozing.
6AM train and I'll have to tube it from Paddington, which I always enjoy. The office is literally across the road from Aldgate East, so no worries at all on the navigation front there - I enjoy feeling like a ping pong ball zipping around the underground.
