New Apartment
Last weekend I moved into my new pad. It's a bit of a bachelor pad. Well, the one of the best pads I've ever seen, let alone lived in. It's immense!
It was quite a bit of luck mixed with pure perseverance. It was a tricky task finding a furnished place for six months when most buildings in town only accept year long leases. The search took around 3 weeks but each place wasn't quite right or just didn't have the views. Luckily, the new apartment, on the 63rd floor of the landmark John Hancock building has awesome views across the best part of the city!!!

Dallas, Texas
Hey, long time no speak!
Last week I headed down to Dallas for a few days on a special work project. Luckily, the venue was at a very nice hotel indeed. So it was great to spend a couple of days there as a small reward for all the hard work! Especially the infinity pool, my first and hopefully not the last!
It was great to see a bit of Dallas too and a few cowboys walking around, incidentally with a gun or two and a wide rimmed hat. I wasn't scared, much.
There was even a big ice hockey game on near the hotel, so we joined some of the crowds watching big screens outside the complex. Dallas even won!
Heading to the Mississippi river on a camping trip for the bank holiday weekend and then will return to Chicago on Sunday evening ready for a classical concert in Millennium Park. Should be a nice long weekend.
Will be returning to the UK next week for just over a week on a work/ catch up visit.
Looking forward to seeing some of you!

Chicagoland
Hello all! It's been a little while since I have updated you all after a crazy few weeks in Peru, New York and then arriving wide eyed in Chicago.
I've now been in Chicago for over a month and it's been really good. It's a beautiful city, with a great buzz and people are a little more relaxed than their New York cousins.
Work is going well too. My role has changed a lot since New York but it's moving in the right direction and I have picked up more responsibility for US online marketing and one or two other projects. It's been busy, but just about manageable!
Enjoy the photos!
