1. The female customs officer mistook me for a wealthy lady when she told me that should I have 2,000 euros on me, I would need to declare it. I assured her that I only had 15 pounds in my pocket. She then asked if I had anything other than my own clothes in the suitcase. I replied that half the suitcase was full of my grandson's clothes.
2. Life is tough here and they still do not smile. In one appraisal Kaaren put smiling on the list of things to be attended to. She spoke about the GDP dipping into a negative figure - 2% I believe.
The average salary net is 400 euros a month - do not know what the tax is. Senior management earn about 25,000 a year.
3. There is nothing to do here in summer and even less in winter. However, the young man was on form and we had an enjoyable time looking at books. Karstein flies off this afternoon and is back on Wednesday, so I can see that there will not be much spare time. The kindergarten ladies are looking forward to seeing me.
4. The British Embassy have given notice of a Burns Supper next Saturday, but it is in Tivat which would make it rather difficult to get back for my 10 a.m. flight.
5. I have just had an email from the Estate Agents who say that the couple who viewed on Monday are keen to buy if they sell their house.
6. Kaaren requested two copies of the Harvard Business Review - her preferred reading at the moment.
I am now going to tackle the diary before time runs away and the young man is back from Kindergarten.
Will transfer the money today.
Send a smile
No wonder the hills are black!
