An early July Update

Ok - so I'm only doing this "early" because I managed to "lock" myself out of the office this weekend - fortunately I did get the laptop out!

So on my lunch break today I took the camer for a walk around the block, so here are some of my very local sights.

The local church - not too interesting.

But this shows you how local being the view from my apartment. Aaaarrrrggghhhh, the bells, the bells - fortunately not before 8.30 am so not a problem for me even at the weekends.

The Care Cu Bere (Beer Cart) Restaurant - spectacular inside and a great place to take visitors in the evening (this is a hint - Margaret/Nev/Russ etc) with the National Savings Bank in the distance.

The rather more interesting local churches, Romanian and Russian Orthodox respectively.

6pm here and back to work for me, hopefully the travelogue will resume soon not least as you can see from these photos it is perfect photography weather right now!

The late June update!

Yes I know, I could rename this the "late update" blog.

Highlights for June were perhaps not surprisingly more work with a brief trip to Siniai for a Company "jolly" (HR insist it was team building but I know it's just a conspiracy to spend all our money).

The end of the month saw some planning trips including a brief visit to Milan to meet Leonardo and take a look at the Duomo - tip don't rush to Milan if this is what you want to see as below the shot it's a "building site" due to extensive renovation work.

The very late May update

A very clear highlight for the month - the Mighty Bluebirds in the FA Cup Final!

Wembley stadium very much a sea of blue at both ends of the ground.

Apart from that almost all work and no play once again, but did manage a little sun time in Cismigiu - my new "local" park.
