Don’t Kill All the Belgians

I am in London today. It’s been a good day although travelling on the tube during rush hour in the sweltering heat reminded me of how nice it is to walk around in shorts and flip flops in the south of France. Internal and client meetings have gone well, although the highlight of the day was dinner with two old friends from Belgium who I used to work with. They were both very thoughtful and brought me a box of Belgian chocolates (my favourite marron noirs naturally), and a humorous cartoon book by Danny Wind book called “Let’s Kill All the Belgians”. The book is somewhat controversial it has to be said hence the reason why it was removed from the Amazon site no sooner than it had arrived on the shelves – thankfully Bernard was particularly quick to order his two copies. That said some of the illustrations are so far-fetched that they were vaguely hilarious. Tomorrow it’s some more meetings in London before a flight to Zurich in the evening (thankfully I am getting out of the UK before Thursday's general strike).
