6 May, Thursday: Today was Claire’s last day for a while. She’s beginning her six month maternity leave. The UK provides generous leave to its citizens. It was hard seeing her go, as I know I’ll be gone when she gets back.

We gave her some presents, a beautiful flower arrangement and baby blanket from the company, and some individual gifts as well. Some of the staff in the US office sent a package but it hasn’t arrived yet, which was disappointing. We went out to a nice lunch at the Axe and Cleaver. I had a superb Greek Salad and French bread (was feeling European).

Went home and cleaned up the house since Christopher will stay over tomorrow night. Feels good to have a clean place, I've been too lazy lately.
