Holiday Snaps

Return to AP Towers after family hols come to a sad end (sad that they ended - nothing bad happened, apart from being fined by an officious Austrian).  While working at AP is blissful, obviously, walking in the Slovenian Alps and then lying by a pool in Istria was not bad either.

Week one, I read The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver - what a disappointment.  She has been on one writing course too many.  I then re-read The Rotters Club (one of my favourites) because I experienced Book Envy with Spouse chuckling to himself while I ploughed on with La Kingsolver.  Also read The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters.  Genius.  Brilliantly crafted and beautifully observed.

So what has happened in my absence?  Isla (designer) has gone off somewhere hot; Katie (web) has used up most of her holiday entitlement already attending gazillions of festivals, so has not been away; Nosheen and El (editorial supremos) have taken advantage of the Absence of A Magazine to forward plan through the autumn; and Jo and Tricia are covering for Paul (advertising) who got married on Saturday and has taken his lovely lady wife to Cyprus for a couple of weeks. 

Everyone is fine.  Is this the mark of good management, or am I surplus to requirement..?
