Monday 28th October 2024

It is Monday again, and over the next few weeks I am travelling to both France and Denmark, so that it will be December before my work travel will be over.

That being said, I have travelled less than most in our small department, and see the light at the end of the tunnel now. In that for next year's planning I will only be there eight months or so,

I also have a backlog of shots to post on Flickr. I am now coming to the end of shots from the trip to France and Tuscany, so I am now editing shots from the same month, though it is is the 28th October, and soon a new month.

Travel also means travel expenses, and submitting them to the Danish tax authorities, so rules have to be obeyed, no matter how stupid and petty.

The reality of the travel expense app on the intranet is always better than the thought of it, even still it was after lunch before I started the task.

Monday morning dawned all red and angry, so I took shots of the blood-red sky to the south east, which soon faded to pastel shades as the sunrise approached.

Mails to sort through, and calls to return, and so the morning slipped though my fingers.

Most of the afternoon was spent preparing jambalaya, something to have when Jools came back from aquasicse. But I got a call at five, her heart wasn't in it, so had cancelled, so leaving me with a rush job to finish off the jambalaya, add rice and frozen, bit cooked shrimp.

It was done by quarter to six, just time for Jools to pour a cider and me to open a new bottle of red wine, and we sat down to eat.

Spicy, but bearably so.

There was football in the evening, Blackpool v Wigan, though I went to bed with twenty minutes to go, so missed Blackpool's leveller late in the game.
