Last night, using various excuses and the fact that several of our former European colleagues were in town for the annual NAB in Las Vegas, we had a little gathering in our new home, also known as housewarming…
After much debating and a late invite sent to most of the people (sorry, it seems I still managed to forget one or 2 persons on the list… I apologize profusely) most of our old and new friends made it to our new home and mainly to our patio.
Many made it and it was great to see some of the old friends on this side of the pond. 3 of the guests (Keith, John and J) were even at both our leaving do in London and our housewarming here in California. Amazing! It was good as well to meet with some new people (some parents from Sarah’s “Mummy and Me†group and some new Disney colleagues and their partners) and to finally have a drink out of the office with some not so new people.
Kudos to both Keith and Simon, who both have the commuting record to join us, coming respectively from London and Hong Kong.
Kudos as well to Arnaud who quickly replaced me at the BBQ position as Sarah and I were running like nutters, trying to see as many people as we could and delivering food, drinks, etc to our guests.
I must admit one thing: I never ever saw so many kids playing together in a garden at a given time. I think we might have reached 20 kids in our backyard, without having one explosion of tears or a crying youngster!
The party was great and did last, as you can expect, well into the night…
One slight issue though: I totally forgot to take any picture of the evening! So all you get is a shot of one of the table on the following morning, around 7:00AM…
