Sadly I’ve come to the end of my two weeks in Melbourne, and by the time you read this will be making the agonizing drive home – for 23 hours! Although the office is still quiet following the Chicago event, it was great catching up with real faces instead of avatars.

Melbourne is almost 2,000 km south of where I live, and the weather has been around 10°C colder than the Sunshine State. I’m heading home with a huge cold, and hope the warmer weather will kill it in no time.

Thanks Melbourne for the fun work days, the good food, and the game of pool.

Three knick-knacks on her desk – a dinosaur, a soldier and a Pharaoh – have been watching me type.
