No place like home

It has been a full on couple of weeks…I arrived in London on Tuesday last week for a few days in the office, and from the moment I arrived there was nothing else in the media except for a running commentary of the goings on with the IOC in Singapore, before it was announced on Wednesday that London had won their bid to host the 2012 Olympics…bloody good news, and London was rightly stoked. We were living in Sydney during the 2000 games and if 2012 is half as good it will be great for London.
Then things went pear shaped on the Thursday morning with the suicide tube bombings,and since then there’s been nothing else in the media, as you’d expect. The whole nation stopped to observe 2mins silence yesterday and it was quite moving. I gotta say I think the Londoners were amazing in the way they’ve handled it all…I was more freaked out than most of the locals I’ve talked to.
This week I’ve been in a another workshop, but my personal highlite for the week was going to the Seth Godin marketing soiree hosted by Hugh MacLeod. I nearly didn’t go, but mustered the energy at the last minute and am really glad I went. Seth was great, and I am now brimming with inpiration about how to market my projects and the chance to meet some new people was cool as well, including Loic Le Meur, the first customer I have actually met in person. A great way to spend a Monday night, thanks Mr MacLeod.
Now I am getting ready for the 24 hour long haul flight back down under, and I am hanging out to get home and see Jennifer and Flynn…apparently he’s got a new tooth :)
