Hey, it is Saturday afternoon! I have had a sleep in, been to the gym and about

to head out for a small party this evening. It is snowing outside and looks like we are going to have a few quiet days. Brunch tomorrow with the Heusi gang should be good fun.

Tomorrow is turkey time

and after what I am sure will be a quiet and frustrating day in the office we have been invited out for dinner. Looking forward to catching up with some friends for dinner and then a couple of weeks off starting on Saturday. Did I tell you already that I was having some time off?  :-)

I was in Konstanz briefly yesterday

and it is a pleasant, small German city on the Bodensee very close to Switzerland. It was nice to walk around and take a few photos and watch the Swiss shopping-tourists prop up the local economy  :-)

It is nice to see the end of that week

and I'm looking forward to getting out tomorrow to get a little sunshine and take some photos. With a little luck, I might even find a nice lunch as well   :-)

What was surely one of the last warm, sunny weekends this year

and I have been at home feeling like rubbish. Sadly, I couldn't even make it to Cook Club last night (and I am told that the ladies cooked up a storm).
Bring on Monday.

Lest We Forget

luckily I am of a generation which hasn't seen too much in the way of conflict. Today is always a day to remember others who weren't so lucky......

Sunday evening after a relaxing weekend

RBA, BOJ, ECB, FOMC, BOE, NFP.......

do you need any more on your first week back in the office? Gosh, with the US Elections thrown into the mix, there were enough excuses for people to choose from.....
