I might have said this somewhere else, but I am off for a couple of weeks - wedding, and then staying with son, and baby-sitting a bit for them. They do wedding photography so we can provide one week's baby-sitting. I won't have much access to a computer. |

The inside of the Sagrada is wonderful and, unlike the exterior, which is a mishmash of styles, looks 'all of a piece'. It was a building site when I was last here. At the the other end of our street is the amazing St Pau, art nouveau hospital complex, 'city within a city', well worth a visit. |

Back at work, no major disasters in my absence. It is the convention, if you work in banking and probably in other financial services, that you must take a continuous period of two weeks holiday in the year. My system profile was disabled during this period, so it wasn't possible to log on remotely (not that I would). The theory is that, if you are operating some sort of fiddle or scam, it is more likely to be discovered. I was grateful for the fact that no one was allowed to contact me about work and I was actually barred from video conferencing or even reading emails while I was on holiday.

Sorry to hear that, Rum - it won't help the myth of your indispensability. |

It's more about timing Tick. There was a big software delivery that went live shortly before I went on holiday and I was hoping there would be no big problems arising from that. It wouldn't have helped my reputation to have had something major happen while I wasn't around to deal with it. Anyway, back in the saddle, possible trip to Belgrade coming up due to my colleague retiring. I gave up working on site a few years a go but this would just be a couple of days for a workshop and maybe the odd, short follow up trip, which would be ok. |
