Three hours till freedom

First of all, thanks for all the encouragement you darlings gave after my last post. It was as much appreciated as it was needed.

And, lo and behold, the Ministry has allowed for Doris to take over my accountancy responsibilities during my holiday, so I can go to Bodrum! Janine arrives today, tomorrow I'll just pop into the office for a few minutes to hand things over to Doris properly, Saturday there will be a little birthday dinner (with Jasmin and stefan and 2 other friends, though without Doris and Gabriele, who are going to Kappadokia together with a friend of Gabriele's who arrives tomorrow), and on Sunday we're off.

Ze boyz will be looked after by Maggie, my cleaning lady, so I don't have to worry about them.

I can hardly believe that I'm going to spend a whole week at the sea, after ten years of sea-deprivation, except for looking at it longingly whenever I was in Istanbul or Lisbon.
