Day one

Day one came and went very quickly. It started at the pub, I felt comfortable! I met the team and managed to make one or two 'connections'.

I have two days meeting our main vendors to start the week, so no soft landing by the looks, straight into it, which feels right. It's hard switching on again after a couple of months off, but the content and issues are eerily fimiliar.

The people I have encountered thus far have all been nice - I even had my boss texting me in the first few minutes of the Lions test winding me up (revenge was sweet - thanks boys), so being the new boy shouldn't be too uncomfortable.

It is nice to be sitting here on a Sunday afternoon, knowing what the next week has in store. I have definitely missed having that structure.

So all in all, things are well - and it continues the theme of things falling into place. The stars are in alignment, and I am happily following them. I expect that this week will have its share of 'moments' - and I'm looking forward to them.
