This week I am in Cornwall, visiting my parents (see them in France now instead), for the first time in 3 and a half years. Almost nothing has changed about the place. It’s sort of spooky that way.
I suppose this doesn’t really count to recording my US transition.
Back to London tomorrow, where I get to see a whole bunch of my very most favourite people.
At SFO waiting for my red eye to London. I’d take a picture, but I think we’ve all see that photo of a plane sat on the tarmac enough.
Speaking at a conference on Friday. Will be about design principles, which makes me feel like a fraud/unhappy due to not working for GDS anymore. This’ll be the last one.
Felt pretty fraudulent hanging out at the CfA summit last week, too, for much the same reasons. Ugh.
The new MD thinks this trip will be good for me.
I have no internet at home, which is both more and less annoying than I thought, depending on what I’m trying to get done.
Today I am in an expensive resort in Maui which has internet, though. Holiday priorities.
Week 8 included the NY trip which was the best and made me feel like maybe I hadn’t left London and all my friends behind.
Then it was over. :(
I drank more than I should have at the Edge after party and said embarrassing things at a Canadian I thought was cool who will now never speak to me again, most likely. I am incapable of making friends, turns out.
Edge was good though, but would have preferred it held in a room with windows.
Week 9 we moved into the new house we somehow managed to buy. It’s a lot empty. The main bedroom walls AND ceiling are a horrible shade of mustard. I have mentally repainted the whole place. I just need to do something about it now/buy a step ladder.
It was also Alex’s birthday, but he went to Boston for TAG.
We are finally only paying for one place, rather than one in London and 2 in SF. It’s nice to be settling down after all the stuff and paperwork and admin we’ve had to battle through just to be allowed to live together in the same country. It’s been ageing.
In Boston, while Alex is at TC39. It’s cute and reminds me of England.
Successfully finalised on the house, the keys are ours and we can move in next week when we get back.
Bought a new giant bed and mattress for the new house.
Walked ~20 miles.
