Last weekend in Skopje

It's so strange, knowing that it's the last, but not being quite able to believe it. Everything feels so... normal, as if it were going to continue like this. The mind is a strange thing, indeed

Snort. I don't see why you need to be briefed if you're not going to be there but that's bosses or you.

That's just the Macedonian government trying to convince the EU embassies that they're being good and doing marvellous deeds of rule-of-law-ness. So I had to go, and will have to write a report -- although I have no idea what to write except for "the usual bunch of lies has been served" -- since the Ambassador was absent.

So lieb die beiden :-)

Wahrhaftig :-) Der Cornelius ist wirklich der beste aller möglichen kater.

*hugs hugs hugs* I am wishing you well for the move.

Rambo is clearly going to be kept very clean.

Thanks, I need all the good wishes, vibes etc. I can get!

Yes, Cornelius is very attentive when it comes to cleaning. You ought to see him trying to clean Lucius' ears, slurping loudly, and Lucius attempting to fold them as tightly as possible back against his head -- absolutely hilarious.

I think the Ambassador should have given you a nice farewell lunch/dinner or at least a gift. Fool.

I hope you are greatly appreciated at your new post!

(still wrapping my head around you being gone from Skopje...)

No, no, no, the Ambassador will give a lunch (Embassy staff only) tomorrow, but that's going to be a rather stiff affair, and I thought we ought to have a fun, relaxed evening together.

That's better. I hope he does a very good job of hosting it. Are these things always stiff?
