Just back in the country, after another short trip to Chicago where I was running a presentation and a workshop for the Agile 2009 conference. It was a fantastic, exhausting and energising week where I finally got to put many faces to names, rekindle old friendships and make new ones.
I also managed to catch up with some people that I knew in Chicago although it was a shame I didn’t have any more time to be able to do that. It’s great to be back.
I’m finally back in London after commuting back and forth from Copenhagen on a weekly basis. Doing a weekly intercontinental commute certainly eats up more of your free time, hence the lack of blogging for some time. Getting up at 4:30am every Monday to still arrive at the client by around 10am doesn’t really leave you with a lot of energy on a Monday.
I certainly did appreciate that we were working in Copenhagen at least. It’s a very liveable city, and if it weren’t for the draw of the bigger city like London, I would even consider moving there at some point. There are many great things about the city including:
I am, however, certainly glad to be back and looking forward to rebuilding a weekly routine, or least participating in all the wonderful things London has to offer during the week.
A couple of weeks ago, I ended up at Islington’s wonderful Union Chapel, to see John Butler perform. It’s a wicked venue and with most of the pews filled on all sides, I have no reason to doubt it was a sold out show.
It was a great way to unwind after getting back from the weekly overseas commute and he played an awesome show for all. There’s some great photos of the gig on Flickr including the one above. He played a lot of songs from old albums, a few new songs and even dedicated a Michael Jackson cover song the king of pop.
