I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

This weekend we went to Carlisle - because I hadn't been there before! It is a very nice place, and Cumbria is full of sheep and cows indeed. We took the train after work on Friday which made it seem like we were away for ages, like a long holiday.
Saturday we visited the castle, the museum etc. On Sunday we went to Birdoswald, a Roman fort at Hadrian's Wall.
By the way: still no alcohol for Kerstin - I'm on day 72 today!!
Yesterday I didn't
go to work
as I couldn't use my left hand - my thumb has become infected
and is quite
painful. It's better now, but still swollen and I have no
idea why...
Today I had to come back because Muriel is off to Maidenhead
to get
trained for that conference in Milan.
I have now chosen my dates and flight for my Tour d'Europe:
Granada, Rome,
Paris. Because I want to go late in the evening, most
of the flights
are with budget airlines. I'm going to make a weekend of Rome
because I've
never been to that city before, and this time I will also try
to go to the
Louvre in Paris. I have been a few times and never felt like
queuing!
Hopefully the dates are compatible with any random
"signing dates" that
Frank may or may not announce some time before Christmas...!
Here are some random pictures:

What an honour to be invited, and thanks to Alexxx for making it such an inspiring evening!
