The day started in a similar fashion to yesterday. A nice 25 minute walk to the office and breakfast in the restaurant. The overnight rain had cleared and the stroll, whilst cool, was quiet pleasant.
Lat morning GF got the call. Security was ready to process him in preparation to issue a badege. His colleague went first and whilst not subjected to a cavity search was interrogated before having his photo taken and a temporary badge issued, pro temps. Next, it was the Gorse Fox's turn.
"Name?" screamed Frau Torquemada.
"Gorse Fox" came the reply "G. O. R. S. E. F. O. X."
The screen flashed in front of her. "Did you verk vith us before?"It has been 10 years since that photo was taken, The Gorse Fox was absolutely delighted that he has apparently found his Dorian Gray moment and has ceased ageing.
He admitted that he had.
"Vell," she said "you haven't changed. Your photo on file looks just like you. Dismissed".
It wasn't such a bad day after all!
After work, the Gorse Fox joined some colleagues for dinner at Kleftiko, the Greek restaurant opposite the hotel. The food was excellent - though GF suspects that a small cloud of garlic fumes is following him around at present
