And now for some mental escapism - watching Taken..... It doesn't require much brain power, just what I need after a manic few weeks at work!

To the two 'older' British couples who queue-jumped the bus from Barbati to Kassopei - shame on you! Because of your selfishness and lack of a moral compass, my family couldn't all get on the bus - after waiting for over an hour! 🤬

I leave Corfu tomorrow, but the sad thing is that this is probably the first country I have been to where I have felt embarrassed by being unable to speak at least a few words of native language. For the last ten days I have been trying to remember to say ευχαριστώ. Fail!

Home for the next couple of weeks - the Defence Academy, substituting my Army Benevolent Fund job for my British Army 🇬🇧 job temporarily. Facilitating Command and Leadership journeys, amongst other things, for Reserve OF4s from the UK and overseas.

It comes to something when the highlight of my Friday evening is ironing. Defence is certainly getting good value out of me during these two weeks!

This was my tipple last night, courtesy of my good friend Vivien (details withheld!) from the French Special Forces! I didn't drink the whole bottle - it was shared with my ACSC syndicate.

A great trip to Royal Hospital Chelsea this evening to catch up with these two fantastic In-Pensioners, Peter and Terry. It is always an absolute privilege to stand (or drink!) in the shadows of giants.

It was an honour to organise last night's Army Benevolent Fund Festival of Remembrance at Durham Cathedral last night, with Amy Simeon and manxmaninuk. So grateful to all who performed, participated, supported, and attended, this iconic event.
