Working today
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
Holland has 2 public holidays this week, yesterday was Queens day and then Ascenion today. And as with Germany, many people are taking tomorrow off work as a bridging day.
Luckily, although I normally work in Holland, this week I'm working from home and still doing a full week

Currently sat in hotel in my pants after way too much "dancing into May" lastnight.
Fortunately,as mentioned, everyone else is on holidays so it's quite peaceful.
Currywurst for lunch I feel.
Thank Wilmslow for late checkouts.Comment
