Best laid plans.....

10 minutes from the end of a 5 hour meeting on Friday my client mentions he needs me to attend a board meeting in the middle of my trip! Offers of a substitute and protestations of my holiday failed to avert the inevitable so it looks like the itinerary will have to be extended by a day to incorporate a flight from Toulouse back to London for this meeting, then back to Toulouse and back into the mountains. Looks the best of a bad bunch of options and means that John will have a day to kill in Toulouse and I will not be back in time to do my triathlon on Sunday 27th. It also means I have to change half the hotel bookings and the ferry crossing.
