The day turned out pretty good in the end though. 120kms through the Ardennes in the rain. The rivers and forests all around here were enough to take my mind off the other discomforts I was enduring.
I also started talking to animals today. Whenever I cycle past a paddock I'll try and communicate with the animals in there. I moo'd a herd of cows and 10 out of 11 looked at me. Sheep are easy too. Horses I still struggle with
1 10/11 Belgian Cows Understand Me
. I think it must be my accent.That night I did find a hotel and I've never been so happy in a bed in my life!
The following morning was a lazy run into Bastogne, famed for the Battle of the Bulge in WW2. A friendly local cyclist actually escorted me 3/4 of the way there and gave me a running commentary of the towns and points of interest along the way, all in French. In return I told him all the things that had been on my mind since childhood. Very therapeutic indeed.
All told 630kms to Bastogne so far, bike and body fine. Mind is still where it was when I left but improving daily. The sun has come out now so all my gear is dry again. My daily planner I sent out is probably going to be 3-5 days behind in the first half, but that's cool too.
Hope yer all well. ;)

Always knew you had a way with the sheep...

Hey dude how's it going? See you are having fun... a bit wet out there isn't it? How are the Belgian girls? Are they open after a few cherry Kirks?
So how was that hedge accounting again? Just in a few words ;-) No, we are not even close, I think you'll have time to explain us when you are back from Cairo. By then SAP-FXAll interface might go live... Or we'll have returned to FK. Fingers crossed!!
OK, take care and keep up the good spirit!! We all envy you!! Balazs
Piece of advice

Would it be possible for the author of this comment to get in touch with me at dewand@yahoo.com. I am looking for a standard interface between SAP and FxALL if one exists. Or it has to be custom development ?
Many thanks in anticipation.
