It's summer holiday time and we're back on the train, this time in 5 changes from Copenhagen to Amsterdam via Hamburg - so far (🤞) mostly on time. I'm astonished too. So let's try not to curse it.
I had planned board games, reading books, having a picnic and photo sorting for this trip. But work is unfinished and since leaving at 6am I've managed to finish two reports, clear some emails and now it's time to look at budgets.
Annoying to work on holiday but everyone else is on a screen too and at least this way I can catch up.
