The calm before the storm

[nanila]

I'm in Tenerife for, believe it or not, work. I had to arrive a day early because the first instrument team talk on Monday morning is mine.

So this is me after a long Skype conversation with my family, standing on the balcony outside my ridiculously-outsized-for-one-person room, breathing deeply.

Lovely picture.

Thank you. I do like the self-timer function on my dSLR when I'm traveling by myself. :)

That looks absolutely lovely :-)

It is. I had a two-hour walk along the beach & the waterfront this afternoon. Wowwww that's done a lot for my mental state.

Glad you arrived safely!

What a view. It looks magnificent.

Your dress is pretty!

Hope your talk goes well! I'm sure it will, but sending well wishes anyway :)

It's pretty stunning here. The sun has gone down and I'm watching the marine boundary layer roll in and fog up the far end of the bay.

I love this dress. I break it out every time I go away somewhere warm.

Thanks for the good wishes for tomorrow. :)

That's a very nice picture. It looks very serene.

It is quite tranquil here. Apparently the resort is full as well, which it doesn't feel like at all.

[silveradept]

Wow. I wouldn't be able to guess that from the picture at all.

I hope all goes well. I really enjoyed visiting Tenerife back in the early 00s :-)

Thank you! First talk is done. I'm feeling a bit more relaxed now, although won't be entirely at ease until Wednesday afternoon (when my second talk is done)!
