Geneva

Monday 25th June
In Geneva Switzerland for the EBU Networks Seminar. Before I set out, I found the hotel on Google Streetview, saw that the number 5 bus stops right outside, and found the bus timetable on the web as well as where to catch the bus at the airport.
Can't help feeling that some of the adventure has gone out of travel these days?

No Hannah or Daniel for a week!

Monday 25th June
As Zoe did three years ago. Hannah and Daniel set off this morning for a week away at an adventure centre. They seemed ok with the idea, and coped very well with waving goodbye in the school playground. I am sure that they will have a great time. They are home again on Friday.
I am away in Geneva for an EBU Conference. Not very good timing, but Zoe said that she would look after Lynda.

Fathers Day

I was given a very appropriate gift on Fathers Day yesterday.  An axe! Only need it for chopping kindling for the fire pit, nothing too ambitious.  Daniel was interested though.  What could possibly go wrong?!!!.....

Fingers!!!

Friday 15 June

A rather strange week. Zoe is away with school at an Activity Holiday Centre in the New Forest area. So the house seems unusually quiet without her around. It is nice to spend some more time with Daniel and Hannah though. Zoe has sent the occasional text message through and seems to be having a fun time.
Hope that she has enjoyed it. Hannah and Daniel are away in a couple of week's time.

Saturday 9th June

Well that was pretty tough, but a great day out. Cycled 70+ miles, through some lovely (rather too hilly) countryside. Despite what the map said, there is no way that we went downhill more than we had to pedal uphill.
Anyway, my butt hurts, my knees hurt, and my face caught the sun. No cycling for me tomorrow!
Respect to Alan and Matt for doing this on a daily basis.
