Vive la France

In France today. Bit of a family holiday. Dad has got all his money in his money belt and each time he needs to pay for something he looks like some dodgy type that is delving in his pants. You can't get away with that sort of behaviour - not even in France.

I forgot how stressful it is being away with your family. Don't get me wrong, we're a close family. But sometimes when we're away it's a little too close. Feel I need space at the moment and going on holiday with six other people is *probably* not the best way to do it.

Going away from everything (I was planning on working remotely but the French attitude to easily available internet connections has quashed that idea) always makes me reflect what I'm doing. To be honest I'm not sure. Work is overwhelming and it's difficult to know how to make it easier. Then again, working hard is how you succeed - isn't it?
