Phew what a relief, the Universal Credit people came through and have paid my travel fares for the month. An extra hour in bed, just a bus from literally outside the kitchen to North Greenwich Underground Station, Jubilee Line to Bond Street and a five minute walk. There's road works along Oxford Street/Regents Street and a lot of the buses are not stopping at Oxford Circus Underground Station, the 453 terminating at Trafalgar Square.
It's lets dig up the road before the snow starts!

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It's the day after my final training on the night shift at 1A Whimpole Street London which is next door to the Royal Medical Society close to Cavendish Square.
I think that I impressed the security officer who was training me as he kept giving information that he wouldn't have told the other security officers. I did two patrols and the unlocking patrol around 5am.I got to see inside the offices and walk around the famous roof garden. There's a video on YouTube which gives a guided tour of the building, sort of introduction to people visiting the site.
The what to do 'in the case of an emergency 'and who to contact is very straight forward. It seems that Whimpole Street is very busy during the night.
I'm also getting used to travelling on the tube, as the roadworks by Thames Water something to do with the superloop gains momentum around Oxford Circus Underground Station and Regents Street Junction making the traffic worse than usual.
I will be finding out about if the buses are running over the Christmas period as the network shuts down as not everyone celebrates the 25th of December, maybe the night bus. Best put some money aside for the occasion when I get paid on December 13th.
 I'm starting to get used to all the walking around, not as tired as I was on Sunday but I will have to pace myself with the upcoming shifts.
 The Universal Credit people are being a little bit quite than usual, eventually I will have to sign off sort of what happens next period.
