How is this for an awesome building? It’s The Shard, the recently completed skyscraper on London’s south bank. It’s an astonishingly beautiful building in my humble opinion. The picture was taken as I was walking from the office to Blackfriars Station in order to get a train back to the airport. Gatwick Airport, that is, because that has departure lounges that I quite like. The day in the office was interesting because I spent it mostly with the guy who took over my job in June. The reason for me to be here was that that take over process needed some fine tuning but that was OK. It’s always good to see each other face-to-face anyway and definitely when that involves educating one another.
The flight back was smooth and without any issues, but the departure was quite delayed because of some staffing issues. I was back home at 11pm only so quite relieved that I had made it back to Amsterdam. The bigger relief still was that the populist party PVV had been a big loser in today’s general elections in the Netherlands. Very glad that some level of decency had prevailed.
