What a beauty* (your blog), and the car's not bad either. I love the dancing children's photos on the front page.
It is extremely hot here in Moscow today, about 29 degrees, there is no air conditioning in the office and I had to walk back to my apartment this morning on discovering I had left the keys to a cupboard in my jacket pocket.
Meeting this afternoon probably until late. . . . I shall try and get out on Thursday rather than Friday. . . . I'll let you know.

Poor man - and he says Moscow is horrible too. I bet he's wishing that he had been chucked out along with the diplomats, but hey - he's there with an oil company, and the Russians aren't even remotely that capable of shooting themselves in the foot. (He says he actually wanted to post a comment, but as his screen is displaying in Cyrillic, he has no idea what he is doing. No smart remarks, please.)
We had a bit of a facer last week, in the 14 seconds Jeremy was home in between foreign trips, when he rang our holiday hotel to check on the status of something-or-other, and told them we were booked in from the 28th July to 8th August. 'Ho no sir', they said, 'we have you down from the 21st to the 1st'.
Argh.
Just as well we phoned, eh?
As our plan had been to put the children in the car at 5:00 on the morning, to avoid the horrendous traffic, this would now give Jeremy about four hours in between getting home and setting out on a five hour car journey. And in that time he would have had to unpack, put a wash on, pack, load the car, and take the MLC** for a spin (he only had it a few hours before he had to leave the country for days. Ha ha ha ha ha!).
So, unless he gets home a day early, we will leave on the Sunday morning, and maybe he will have had time for several spins.

What MLC? I'm not going bald (I can't see so I'm guessing), I'm in great shape (special mirrors etc) and the car was for the kids not me.
The beauty I was refering to was Sidonie I hope you realised?
