Just The Way I Feel

A three-and-a-half hour drive from Wroclaw in Poland to Prague in the Czech Republic turned into nearly five hours thanks to a tailback on the autoroute due to roadworks.

Time till our room at the Art Nouveau Palace Hotel was whiled away in a Pakistani restaurant across the road. Then I just had time enough to wash and change before embarking on nearly 3 hours of press interviews in a private lounge and with an interpreter hired by my Czech publisher.

By which time the accumulated fatigue of the last five days took over and I slept for a couple of hours before rising to grab a quick bite and return to my room.

En route I spotted this little lady lying on the lobby floor. I know just how she feels.
