Notes:-Amsterdam with Sarah. Amazing day in the city, saw the Anne Frank museum which was really poignant. Did a night river cruise to see the winter light display. Arrived yesterday morning after an early morning flight from Birmingham international. Spent much of the week worrying about the flight. I havent flown for over 10 years. Got some Diazepam tablets from the GP which do seem to help keep a lid on the anxiety. I was also pretty tired yesterday morning as I had spent a difficult day in London. Long team day with some difficult discussions with Sarah and the other researcher leads. Then had a Xmas drink before heading back to Euston to try and get an early ish train. Lots of train issues ended up stranded at Rugby and Sas picking me up… got home around 11 so late night. Which was the last thing either of is needed. Got to the airport and boarded the plane around 8am but then got held for nearly an hour on the plane before getting cleared to fly due to fog. Managed to keep a lid on the anxiety and had a good flight. Really proud of myself for doing it. Sas was prepared to head home if it was too much. After we landed Wayne picked us up and took us to see Kath and we had a lovely time catching up. Wayne then dropped us back to our hotel in Rotterdam.
