I’m back in the UK, for a couple of days at least. Will have to head out to Singapore, Bangkok and Istanbul over the next few weeks as part of my project. I’m not sure I’ll see anything besides the inside of the office and the hotel, but at least I’ll collect a few frequent flyer miles for my trouble.

International jetsetters that we are, Aude and I met at the airport yesterday morning. She was flying in from NY, I was flying in from Singapore. After spending most of the day in a jetlag-induced haze, we went out to dinner to celebrate her birthday. Given that our body clocks were 12 hours out of sync with one another, we spent most of the meal with me falling asleep into my plate (and without any appetite) and Aude absolutely ravenous because her body thought it was lunchtime.

Back to work tomorrow (boo!)
