Weeknote 110

Barcelona!

• Work load is gradually ramping up with a full accessibility audit of the GOV.UK website. It's been a somewhat stressful experience so far coordinating with everyone.
• Friday I joined a friend to see David O'Doherty's new tour stopping off at Alexandra Palace. We both enjoyed it and I could particularly pick up some of the Irish references that half the audience of Brits couldn't so easily.
• Early Saturday I headed to Barcelona via Vueling airlines from Gatwick. Sorry to the environment, but the train alternative is far too long and expensive!
• It was refreshing to be travelling abroad again, my first trip since last June.
• I visited Casa Batlló on arrival after forking many more euros than I felt it was worth. Beautiful inside and out, but too crowded and disappointed by the limited access without paying yet more to reach the roof.
• Still in Barcelona for a couple more days so making the most of sunshine and mild temperatures before returning to grey grim climate of February London.
• More details next week...
