It has been another long day but I was not going to complain
as it has been to my advantage.
Firstly though I wanted to report that yesterday the
milestone of 2,000 reads occurred on the blog, basically that means that the
blog has now been read more than 2,000 times since I started some 114 days
ago. It is nice that some people come
back and follow what I seem to spend most of my life doing, and that is
travelling as much and as far as I can. I know I have said this, I think,
on day one, but I am very lucky to get the chance to do what I like to do and
that is travel to different places and work with some really nice people,
whether they travel with me, at the sites that I get to visit or that I meet on
the way. As you can tell I am really
happy about this news.
And last night is where the I start today’s blog, I managed
to bump the car. I do say bump and not
crash as it was just a small bump. I
like to think that I can blame my colleague and have told him that a few times but
to be fair it was my fault. He was
giving me directions into a parking space and I wanted to get as close to the
wall as possible so that the front end was not sticking out and well I suppose
you can guess the rest. He shouted stop
but I wasn’t going to listen to somebody telling me what to do and I carried
on. No one tells me to stop if I don’t want
to. Luckily cars bumpers these days are
built quite well and as I bounced off the wall I came to an abrupt halt. I got out of the car and around to the back
in about a tenth of a second and was surveying the damage. Luckily the bumpers are built very well and
there was no damage, not even to the paintwork so I suppose I was lucky. However my ears were not so lucky as all the
way to the hotel I got ribbed about my parking abilities.
So today it was a case of meetings and then to the client
site for a two hour meeting before being let out early for good behaviour and
my Nottingham, unable to give parking directions, colleague and I had decided
that rather than drive all the way back home tomorrow we would spend the
evening driving to Dunkirk to stay just this side of the Tunnel so we could get
an early train and be back home sometime in the early afternoon. So that is what we did, without figuring for
the fact that there are more cars around Brussels than people and spent a good
hour queuing in traffic jams until we could get up to speed again. But 300+ miles later we were pulling into the
exciting town of Dunkirk and the hotel that would be our home for the
night. At least with it being the end of
the week with only three meetings and a journey from the Tunnel to home ahead
of me I can relax tonight and hopefully have an early one. Therefore this will be an short blog and one
that will be posted early.
So it is an early
Night all
