Working 'round the clock

I certainly didn't intend to do so, but today I truly ended up working all day.  It was a very dreary weather day as well, raining most of the day, and Lynnie has been away in Florence, so maybe working wasn't such a bad idea.  Here's my Impressionist photo of dreary, rainy Zurich through my front window:

The problem with working all day is that it doesn't leave me much else to report.  After some tool training in the morning, I went to lunch with Marc and Maxi, which we spent discussing business strategy.  Then I went home to work so more.  About 4pm, I got a call from Philipp telling me he wanted to get together for an early dinner.  So, I rushed around to clean up the apartment and prepare a nice repast, but Philipp ended up getting delayed for more than three hours!  By the time he arrived it was after 8pm and I was almost falling asleep.  However, I revived enough to spend another two hours chatting about business while we chowed down on my dinner of salad and chicken stew.  Actually, it turned out to be a very nice way to end the day.

One final note: Lynnie has decided definitely to return on Thursday evening - yeah!!  I've missed her a lot, although I'm glad she got to enjoy Florence, and especially the much better weather she's been having there.....
