Drizzle after drought

Date: Thursday, 9 August, 2007
Location: Polina and Jack's Place, Leipziger Strasse, Berlin, Germany
Feeling: Content, relaxed and sleepy

Well... People have actually been encouraging me to write. Imagine that. An appreciative audience. Faaark me! Who would've thought someone actually reads my whingings. I'll also have to sift through random word files on my desktop as I've tended to write stuff down on occasions when I've had no access to 'net.

Well, where do I start.... It's been a long time....

After successful conclusion of my stint in Brunei, I was placed on a high-profile strategy job in Sydney for 6 weeks. It drove me to conclude that I'm an operations person. Stuff high-profile strategy - give me ops work any day. Upon conclusion of that I departed the new home-land and went to London for a few days.

People I caught up there include: Julia L, Zoya (Clive and baby Cat), Lacey, Mandy, Mischy, Corina and Martjin... Managed to miss Jules and Haiko... So have to make sure I come back through London on the way back.

Now I'm in Berlin. Very nice. I can see myself living here for a bit. Sick of packing up, unpacking, catching planes and going to the airports. *Sigh*

This is obviously work in progress - as it may take a bit to get back into the swing of blogging...

Top 3 events (aside from catching up with people after years of absence)
1) Receiving a gift of fluffy bunny ears from Michele (along with other almost equally interesting objects)
2) Walking through Hackney at 11pm on Saturday night to get to "Bentham Green Working Men's Club" and then walking back to the hotel in Euston Square (estimated travel time = 1.5 hours, one way)
3) Getting upgraded to Business Class. Using First Lounges at airports where they cook you dinner! (the platinum thing)

Bottom 3:
1) Packing
2) Going to airports
3) Catching Flights

Hurray! Of course I read your "whingings". I love reading them.
