Spent the weekend with the aiesec crew in France for a newies seminar - awesome time, and great to see so many newies amped about starting their @ path.
Was hosted by Grenoble, up in the Mountains, Le Collet Allevard (spelling??) where the view was magnificant except for when the fog was soo dense you could not see more than a metre in front of you! And my first taste of the coming winter too! Really cold!
A friend of mine who went to Perth during the euro summer has just come back with many photos of home - really made me feel homesick...
Great parties, many friends new and old (met a french guy who worked for @US and is now doing a masters in Marseille so he has been pulled back into the fold - very cool. Hopefully a reception weekend will happen in Marseille in the future so will get a chance to finally visit!
Next up my mum arrives - haven't seen her since Feb last year, so will be good to meet her again. Plenty of quick weekend trips planned with her, so can expect some more country hopping posts in the coming weeks! Should counter the feelings of missing home too!
Blogging seems to be really taking off now, everyone is doing it - for me this is awesome as it means no more of the emails that start like:
"Hi Brett,
Been a long time and haven't heard from you...I know I have not been mailing much either. How is everything? Are you still in .... What job are you doing ..."
You know this mail ;-P I do find though that I need an extra hour or so everyday now to get work done, check mails and check the blog posts!
So I leave you now to start my Intranet Strategy plan for work (think internal comms plan) as one of my new tasks to do....
