Aidan Williams - High Acuity

I’ve been doing lots of admin work, lots of talking to clients, and have been learning some new technologies lately as well. We got our business account sorted out last week after a meeting with an incredible bank manager who was recommended to us. Luckily she managed to get the account signed up and approved in 24 hours (which is better than the three to four weeks I know some friends have had to wait). Things have been going great so far and I can honestly say with no equivocation that I haven’t felt this happy and healthy in a long time.

Last weekend Oleg, Veronika, my girlfriend and myself went to see an early preview of the Transformers movie. I really wasn’t sure what to expect given that half the reviews say it’s brilliant and half that it’s terrible, but this film is incredible! if you want something that’s fun, has similar humour to the cartoons, and absolutely jaw-dropping visuals, then this film is for you. However, be warned: this film does have Michael Bay’s trademark cheesy moments where you can actually speak the lines just before they’re said on screen.

My girlfriend and I also went to see The Simpsons Movie very late on Thursday night and… it’s good… it’s just like a long episode and I’d even go as far as to say that I’ve enjoyed some 30 minute episodes a lot more than I enjoyed the film, but it’s still brilliant and worth seeing.

David and I met up early on Saturday morning at Borough market and walked along the south bank of the river Thames into town. I’ve created a new section showing some of the pictures from my time here in London so far.

Yesterday was the Ben & Jerry’s Sundae On The Common event. I can’t say I paid that much attention to the bands that were playing, but I enjoyed the ice cream and met up with so many people that I haven’t seen (at least face to face) in a long time. The weather cleared up, I got a little sunburned, and it was a really great day.

Please feel free to post comments and mockery in the comments section.

Sanjit and I have left our current company. I’ve been there for almost three years now and it has been an incredible experience. Without doubt my favourite memory is our company’s Vision & Values meeting in Biarritz in the South of France last year. Three days and thirty people flying to a fantastic, beautiful location to relax, have fun and discuss the future – they even paid for us to have surfing lessons. I will miss everyone.

On to something new: We started our own company and after leaving our previous company last Friday, we started on Monday with a client meeting and on Friday we found out we won the pitch! Now it’s official and we have a two month contract to sign!

It’s an incredible start – but it is just the beginning and we’re very excited.

I saw my niece twice last week – I babysat her on Tuesday night while my sister and brother-in-law went out and I saw her over the weekend too. I’m beyond broody now and I think my girlfriend is starting to get a little freaked out by it all – or at the very least she’s being very stern that we’re not having a baby just yet. We watched the F1 Racing on Sunday and after my girlfriend said “I love racing”, while holding my niece, I said “I love babies – I think we switched brains at some point during our relationship”
