First off apologies to my sister. It was good to see yourself and Simon over once again last weekend. Its a shame I wasn’t really able to relax properly as I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the things I’ve got to do at the moment.

Back to the topic of this post, last night we were out for Bertrand’s leaving do. Bertrand is one of the French engineers in the office and the evening did feel very French. Possibly due to the masses of bottles of wine on view behind the bar and all these people speaking French around me. It was a good night out with many people from the office coming and going. I had a good chat with Christian about Espe and her improving Piano skills and later chatted to Christina and her boyfriend about all language difficulties and cultural differences. Best of all though had to be chatting to Bertrand about his plans and all the good times in Madrid. A truly top chap. I am in fact, proud to have been described to the Polish engineers in Krakow (before I arrived) as an English version of Bertrand… The only negative is that he always destroyed me while playing tennis.
