I forgot I have a blog...

Actually, I didn't forget as such, more than I majorly got out of the habit of updating it. And this is no promise either. But, for the benefit of anyone who might actually read this, then: hello again!

So, in the 7 months since I last updated, the big news is that I quit my job as a journalist in Brussels (just in time, I might add, before the swinging axe of post-merger job cuts comes to chop its way through the Brussels offices of Thomson and Reuters), and moved to Berlin, where I'm now working far too many hours a day trying to help set up an adaptation of Teach First for Germany.

So far the work is great - if all-consuming - and I'm enjoying life in the German capital. I'm living in a shared flat (WG to you Germanophones) on the border between Prenzlauer Berg and Wedding (yes, that is a place) with two German girls and a Portuguese guy (I make a habit of the Portuguese, it seems...) I've been here since the middle of April and generally spend most of my time at the office. I've been on a few work trips within Germany and went to New York and Washington in April for work. I have another trip planned to New Orleans and New York planned for July, so I'm kept very busy.
