Wednesday

And a day in the office ahead, waking up in the frugal surroundings of the hotel room. I have a shower, get dressed then go down to the breakfast bar where there is only a limited choice, unlike at the Andromeda, which is like a banquet in comparison.

Outside, it is nearly light, showing how the year is moving on, and spring is really close. It even felt mild to as I walked to the car park to free the car at a cost of €22.

Somehow, events put paid to my usual plans of work, ended up fighting fires instead, and then four hours of meetings followed, including one over lunch, so I was able to hear others eat whilst I listened to the meeting via Skype.

We wait for the technicians to come back to shore, and as they arrived in the harbour, dark clouds flew over, and soon the heavens opened with a downpour of almost Biblical proportions, turning what was left of the day to night, only for it to stop as quickly as it started, and we were then greeted with a fine and colourful sunset as the setting sun turned the clouds and sky bright red before turning to pink and then fading to night.

Forty six We go to the burger place next door to the Andromeda for dinner. Again. And have burger, fries and beer. Again. And it is good. Again. All in all, it’s not a bad life.

Back in my room I watch Arsenal fall to pieces playing Bayen in the CL, they lose 5-1 for the second year running, showing no real improvement in any department nor learning from their mistakes. Still, got to laugh.
