…a conference in a beautiful château near Maastricht from Monday night to Wednesday morning
…discovering that a Cyprus newspaper had accused me of having the “insolence of a thousand monkeys” (αναίδεια χίλιων πιθήκων)
…going to a videoconference about energy in Kosovo on Thursday morning, only to lose the Pristina end of the link-up because of a power cut
…getting two signed books from an sf author who I met only briefly at P-Con
…waiting around in the European Parliament for ages because the previous meeting in our room had over-run, and then realising I knew the organiser of the meeting that was running late
…meeting someone on Friday who remembered me from a brief conversation at a party in Skopje in 1997
