Early

The clocks are one hour ahead here inMadrid, so this seems like an early start - particularly as the Gorse Fox didn't have the best of nights. Never mind, the day looks as if it will be challenging and that is half the fun.

The Gorse Fox arrived last night at a decent hour, only being some 15 minutes from the airport. Having checked in to the hotel, phoned the Silver Vixen and unpacked he went down to the lounge to meet with Captain Picard. There followed an hour of planning as we discussed the strategy for today and then we went our separate ways. The Gorse Fox will be meeting him for breakfast in about 15 minutes.
