Argh! Can't believe I'll be home in just a couple of days!
I will miss being a bum in London, but I'm actually looking forward to going home. Thankfully, this trip has been the step back I needed to look at my life. Good timing. It was all just getting to be a bit too much; I was truly at the point of bursting a vein.
Anyway, that's another story, I'm here to blog about this rather awesome trip.
I went sailing. Enough said. But I'll say some more. We sailed on a yacht called Valkyrie from Chichester to near Portsmouth, and then moored at Itchenor. I have no knowledge of sailing but Captain Dan had no choice but to look at me as his deckhand as there was only two of us! I suppose I was enough, we survived.
Me-wise, all was well except for the last couple of hours where I truly felt like I was going to spew like I've never spewed before from sudden seasickness! I wondered if I'd sailed enough in my life I would get used to choppy seas. I even had to abandon my just-opened can of beer because it would've sent me over the side of the boat. Staying very still in the fresh air with my eyes on the horizon helped me keep it all inside though.
We went to the Ship Inn for dinner and ales and then slept on the yacht, and then sailed back to Chichester the next day.
And then it was time for my work week at head office. Here's a photo of my colleague Theja from India and me at the entrance to HO.
It was an inspiring week at work with various presentations from around the world and team-building and skill-sharpening workshops. I'm truly grateful that I work in an organisation FULL of awesome people working together towards awesome goals.
While I was at Waterloo I stayed at the Union Jack, up on the 21st floor and this was what I woke up to every morning!
Right, I would love to blog more but I need to make my way to my Uncle's for lunch.
Will be back soon for a quick final update.
