Post Poland

Before leaving Poland it felt like I’d been there for a month, although it had only been 10 short days. Now that I’ve been back for a couple it almost feels as if I was never away.

Life’s beginning to seriously gear up for the onslaught of the Edinburgh Festival (new window). The Fringe (new window) officially kicks off this weekend, the Edinburgh International Festival (new window) starts the following weekend, and there are already preview shows (I’m seeing one tonight), other festivals, and all sorts of festivities kicking off.

It looks set to be a giant session this year, if my body can take it! I’ve already been partying pretty hard and there’s an all-night session tonight, a few big nights this weekend, and more to follow next weekend. Here’s hoping I survive… :)

Amsterdam Stop Over

I’ve got 3 hours to spend in Schipol on my way home, so figured I might as well get back into the swing of working and do a wee spot of emailing / catching up from here. That and the 4 litres of Polish vodka is too heavy to lug round this damned airport!

I gotta tell you, Skype (new window) is the ideal companion of the mobile businessman. I pick up my voicemails, take incoming calls, make outgoing calls (if I had any SkypeOut credit!) and it’s all easy peasy lemon squeezy!

On that note, better go get some credit and make a few calls to make sure I actually get picked up at the airport!

Still reflecting on Poland and the trip to Auschwitz. If I get time I’ll put the photos together while I’m here and upload them from here, otherwise they’ll be up in the next few days.
