I know, and I often do. I hope you'll concede me the benefit of the doubt if I tell you that that's rarely my intention. So many things could be enormously improved if we just put a tiny bit more to them -- Some (many?) times it's just too hard to spot beforehand the point where the gain vs effort/time curve becomes too steep.

Solfrid, this is why I say hi once every so often. But I usually do that if I go on a
streak and catch up with all the other member's logs. Or do you think my commentary has not been adequate? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Everything's fine! I sometimes do that myself, take a round and pop by the logs of the active members of our team just to remind them that there is someone who looks out for them. The important thing is to see that there is someone there for you. And just for the record I have had lots of great feed back both from members of our team and from others. I was just a little worried now since it had been a while since last time. I guess I am just spoiled :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Argh. Off to Paris and Brussels again. And I know it sounds infinitely spoiled to be complaining about that,
but when you go there for business reasons, and you have 4 days of excruciatingly boring meetings ahead of you, and a head ache that has not let go for a week, it is no fun. The fact that I have been away so much this year that I have hardly bothered to unpack my suitcase does not exactly help either. And I have planned another trip the third week of January. Fortunately, that one is for pleasure, and I am travelling with one of my favourite travelling companions - my youngest daughter. I look forward to practising a bit of French - and a ton of English over the next 4 days though. With a bit of luck I will even have a taste of my other languages. The Presidency is being taken over by a Russian, so I am hoping that there will be some Russian floating around :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Brussels in winter - I sympathise. Damp hole in the ground.

I love Brussels - besides it can't be worse than Oslo :-)

I have a right to both hate and love Brussels with a passion. In a way, it was the best
thing that happened to me so far; and in another I have a right to hate it with every fiber of my being because of how the story ended (it was not a happy ending). But one thing I will say is that I have spent many cold (and warm) nights in Brussels during a two-year period and that Brussels in winter is just a rainy damp wet squib of a place. But that is the Low Countries for you. (Yes, it's a love story). I also am not going back there unless I really have to - I still can't stand going back there and I don't want to for a good while. It feels like that is a part of life that needs to be "closed off" - il faut tourner la page As a language enthusiast, there's no better city, though. As a gem of architecture and culture, I suggest Bruges, Ghent or Antwerp. Bruges is magnificent. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Have you seen In Bruges? I couldn't think of a better place for sightseeing, nor worse for everything else -- or was it the other way around? ;) Edited by mrwarper on 10 December 2012 at 5:09pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
