PROGRESS?

An anemone -not so easy to say if you've had a couple of drams - give me time OK?

You get this lovely wee flower as a relief from the scary architecture (extra) surrounding Rond Point Schuman - I went to the British Embassy there, a dignified 1900's building sandwiched between two visual atrocities.

I wanted to renew my Passport  - "Oh dear," said the nice man at reception, "We haven't done that since 2013!" He told me to do it online...

Trepidation - actually it was easy-peasy - only thing is - it's going to take four weeks!

My first Passport (1952) took three days to process - the last one, ten years ago took two weeks - now it's four weeks!

Is this progress?
