It's been 9 days since the last post but it feels like a lot longer because work continues to be very busy. It's now been 12 weeks since I started the new role and the initial signs are very positive - the teams and the other departments in the company all seem receptive to what we are going to try and do. Each of the five different countries is slightly different, but all are heading in the right direction. Last week it was Paris and Amsterdam. Next week it is back to Madrid and then Switzerland (Geneva) on the Tuesday. The downside is that the levels of fatigue are high, and that's not helping the horse riding, any other form of sporting activity or blogging. Thankfully today was a fairly relaxed day at Maxime's School Fete with the end of the school year fast approaching. Whereas I can normally more or less organise teams of adults, I have to confess that I impressed even myself today by being able to orchestrate 15 young children who were playing on a half inflated bouncy castle this morning. I didn't win the "guess the weight of a Bayonne ham" competition, but it was a nice day all in all. After a day at school I readily recognise that looking after and educating 35 Maximes for 8 hours every day must be extremely tiring. Although that line of work isn't my lot in life, I do also have to say that I am definitely looking forward to the summer which will include 3 weeks of holiday and a week of intensive Spanish lessons.
