Back to Work

[Tuesday 9th September 2014]
Back to work today after our long weekend away. I'm not sure if it's a sign of getting old, but it feels like by the end of the last few trips away we've had I've been really keen to get back home to the comfort and familiarity of London. In fact during our ill-fated trip to Italy earlier this summer both Chie and I wanted to just pack up and go home about half way though (it did of course improve at the end of the trip when we got to Florence and saw Lorenzo). This trip to the Cote d'Azur had been unusual because I really didn't get that sense for once, and actually at the end of the trip I wished we could have stayed for at least another night or two. I guess we've just been to Monaco enough times now that it feels familiar and comfortable.

Whilst my loyalty to London is far too strong to even contemplate saying I begrudged being back here today, at work at least the rather mundane and lacklustre surroundings (by which I really mean the people) were a grating contrast to the seemingly effortless glamour of everyone in Monaco.

Had Japanese food for dinner, which seems to be a recurring theme when returning from travel, particularly as Erika had eaten pasta pretty much every day for the past four days, and we thought it important that she have a bit of variety.
