I’m working my way through my “to do” list.

After that, there are a million and one other ‘dull chores’ to be done, slotted in between trips to the museum to see Picasso to Cezanne, my french classes, cleaning the house, blah blah blah, all before we leave next week for our holiday…

Michelle’s been working hard trying to finish her workload before we leave. Anticipating what might be needed for the budgeting week, preparing it, presenting it, then changing it – numerous times already this week. It’s the busiest time of year for her team, she’s doing 15 hour days, then coming home to collapse before getting up and doing it all over again the next day.

She’ll probably sleep in the bus all the way around Uzbekistan.
