As I write there is travel in the air, Mark and Rachel are about to leave for South Africa.

Yes, there is a conference to be run but we all know that ‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ and so an extra couple of days in the sun are very much in order.

Mark gave us an excellent, and somewhat unnerving, example of just how small the world is while out on a recce for the job. He did this by using the office printer to tell us that he could use the office printer. Marvellous.

So what are his aims for a couple of days R’n R? How about a little cloud computing on the top of Table Mountain? Those of us left in the office will look forward to receiving an appropriately spiritual missive!
