Scenes from my desk

Lost?

On my way home from Paris...I think this guy was looking for his flight.

Sometimes its tempting to think about getting on another plane to somewhere exotic.

Woke up early (and did remember where I was), but we had to face the Paris traffic to get from CDG to Orly. The TomTom said 27 minutes. The stopwatch said 1h45m! We should have stayed at Orly last night.

So we arrived late for the meeting...and they were waiting for us. There were around 8 people, including the MD of Orly. We were represented by two local folk and myself and one of my sales guys.

So our hosts launched off in French...oh dear, I managed to just keep up with listening to the discussion. Then the floor was handed over to us. Thankfully I had delegated this one to my salesman. He took them through in English with a bit of French. Ended up not a bad meeting, and they liked what they saw. So I'd better start brushing up my French again.

Got a lift back round to CDG - this time only 30 mins! Saw the Eiffel Tower in the distance - but too hard to blip. But I've already blipped it once ;)

Paris was wet and cold....I've never been a great fan.

Back to the office tomorrow - just one day this week. Makes up for last week.

Night.
