It has been a long week and I'm so glad to be home and that it's the weekend. My week was further complicated by the fact that I had potential jury service from Wednesday onwards. On Wednesday we were sent away immediately, and on Thursday I didn't have to go in at all (you phone the night before to find out). So by Thursday evening I had kind of got it into my mind that I wouldn't be required. James and I went over to Hillington to collect my new car after work, it took ages to complete all the paperwork so we were starving and picked up a curry on the way home. I like my little silver car with its black roof, particularly the voice controls for music and phone etc. which I kept practising on the way home, such fun! James asked me to stop though; he said that he would prefer if I concentrated on driving! When we got in I phoned the jury hotline almost as an afterthought and found that I had to go in this morning! So of course I then had to text and email to change several arrangements I had blithely made for today. I totally over indulged on curry and as a result I had dreadful indigestion.
This morning I turned up at the High Court and as soon as I got the chance I spoke to the clerk of court and explained that the timing was really bad for me. She was very nice and understanding, however I still had to wait until nearly lunchtime before I was allowed to leave. However the good news is that I don't need to phone on Monday; my duty is done.
