Last week feels like a blur of headaches, sore throat, nose blowing and night nurse at midday. There are parts that I definitely don’t recall well at all so this week note will be patchy at the very best. We had a productive week in cloud migration land. There are…

I have, according to every calendar I can find, been at the Royal Borough of Greenwich for 22 weeks,110 working days or 5 calendar months (practically to the day) since I started my south of the river adventure. Where has the time gone?! I feel distinctly like putting my head…
