holiday diary

half-day 1: left Geneva, about 30°C and bright sunshine. landed in Toulouse, 22°C and rain. great start to the holiday. why is the weather not cooperating with me??

day 2: got up late. spent a lot of the day editing a text for my father. well, i got as far as 6 pages, as the translation was a bit all over the place and the program kept freezing on me every time i tried to save the document. later in the afternoon, on the way to the supermarket, we stopped by the château where my father will be holding his 70th birthday party. met the owner, a lovely man about my father's age, who offered us coffee before i was told to have a look around the place. this all took quite a while longer than the 'quick stopover' it was supposed to be, but it was nice.

day 3: got up 'early'. spent quite a bit of the day reading. weather on and off. at this rate, there won't be a temperature shock when i get to Denmark next week.

day 4: spent quite a lot of time looking over the planning for the birthday party. how many guests, who was staying where and what the weekend programme would be. we had to stop when we got to the table plan, but will continue tomorrow. the owner of the château joined us to dinner, which was a nice break.
