I just noticed the photo from outside the coffee shop in Paris (bugger, I automatically typed that 'h' on the end again!).

That was a bright and beautiful morning, just like it is today, and even if most of the day was spent in a stuffy seminar room wrestling with transport policy, by the evening I was strolling by the Seine with friends and drinking red wine :)

OK, so THAT'S not exactly going to happen today, this evening's plans involve a Parish Councils Liaison meeting :( But it reminds me that next week I'll be in Oxford, then Telford, with other friends and other interests, and after that, an island in the middle of the Danube :)
As long as there are days like that, I guess life isn't so bad :)
