8th

The French Show Jumping stuff went pretty well at the weekend. We finished 8th out of 35 which is pretty respectable all in all. I rode ok but thankfully I was in a team with 3 other (pretty) French girls who all rode particularly well. At least they didn't hurl rotten tomatoes at us when we got back home! Getting back was a bit of an adventure - the event ran late on the Sunday so it meant a rushed journey to the airport and I even travelled back home in full riding gear including boots and show jumping jacket. Most ridiculous but at least it made the air hostesses smile.

The Swedish RFP has started in earnest. One month to wrap it all up. After 6 months of this type of work I know exactly where we are going, but even then, I'm looking forward to having a break. We've had one of my very good friends from Accenture Amsterdam staying with us in France, and I have to say that seeing him has made me quite envious and I'm now really looking forward to my holidays in a few weeks time. With the travel and late nights, RFPs tend to be quite tiring so it will be good to have a break. With a bit of luck I'll come back to a new project in September too.
