Rough cost calculation after 4 of 6 weeks SICSA stay in Scotland as distinguished visiting fellow in GBP. Type Defacto SICSA charged Cash Ahead 0 2000 Ferry Boat 410 0 Fuel for my car 250 0 Hotel in St. Andrews (4 days) 220 220 Hotel in Glasgow (2 days) 120 120 Brentwood Villa Aberdeen (3days) 150 150 Russell Gardens Guesth. Edinburgh 1st week (8 nights) 320 0 3rd week (9 nights) 360 0 5th week (2 nights) 80 0 6th week (12 nights) 480 0 Working dinners with Roy etc. 200 200 Working dinner with J. Gabbay 40 0 Food cost week 1--4 520 0 Food cost week 5--6 250 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Total 3400 2690 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- There are several problems: (A) The 3200 of SICSA do not cover my 3400 unless there is some extra money for travel (which again may be compensated by SICSA not willing to pay for my non-dinner food and drinks) This is a minor problem. (B) We should try to access SICSA money without high bank transfer and money exchange rates. Thus, it would be reasonable if J. Gabbay would charge Working Dinner plus week 6 (520 GBP) directly to Sicsa. (C) I currently do not have enough cash to pay the week 6. This would be solved by (B). The solution, however, has the problem that J. Gabbay is asking for money for himself. Maybe I should sent the cost calculation to Chris at SICSA and ask in the last week (when they should have the exact amounts of charge) for some additional 500 GBP?
