Almost the end of 2008!

Wow what a year. My last post was about the start of the year and I find it is only now that the year is almost over that i’m back writing some more about the year.

I even have some things left from 2007 I wanted to post here. I’ll do that now too.

I intend to come back here and write some more about the year soon … lucky no one is really checking this blog and hanging off my every word! hehe.

Major events in 2008

• Tam and I moved to Melbourne in the middle of the year (start of July). We are renting here and renting out our house in Canberra. So we are landlords and tenants. Interesting! We love our place in Melbourne and we are enjoying the inner city urban life.
• We moved to Melbourne because I changed roles in Fairtrade to take up the position of Operations Manager – Australia. We consolidated our office to Melbourne and I am now in the processs of hiring new staff that I will manage here. Tam was able to get an internal transfer within KPMG and is now part of the Melbourne team.
• I went to London and Europe for 2 months from mid-August to mid-October. I attended the 3rd International Young Professionals Summit 2008 in Manchester and then worked on Fairtrade stuff from the Fairtrade Foundation UK office in London. I did a side trip across to Germany to work from the Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International head office in Bonn – and combined that with a train trip up to Berlin and also down to Munich for Oktoberfest.

More soon.
