Barred and resigned

Well, I don't know if anyone else will see faces here, but as these are the only two photos I took yesterday, they'll have to do. The one on the left looks to me like a resigned baboon, and the one on the right like...er... a sad, three-eyed giant?

What a frustrating day, spent mostly in banks, trying unsuccessfully to transfer money from a long-dormant savings account to a current one. For all its potential risks, internet banking knocks spots of queuing and misinformation in the actual bank branches.

And all this when HH needed to concentrate on handing in our tax returns. Seems shoemakers and accountants have a lot in common - their family affairs come last.

However, once again, all improved vastly in the evening, when we were invited for a truly delicious dinner with friends. There isn't much to better excellent company, beautiful surroundings and delectable food as an aid to setting problems aside.
