It's true....
...today I left Sky...
I've accepted a job at Al Jazeera International in Doha, so I'm off to play in the sand!
It was my last shift this morning - what a strange feeling! I'm so consumed with thoughts of flights, moving, renting out my house etc that I haven't really had time to think about actually leaving Sky. It catches you out when people are nice; when Francis started saying, 'There's still time to change your mind', you think, 'what have i done?!'.
The emails from viewers were really nice too, I printed them all off to show my grandkids - see kids, I was once young like you...now I'm old with yellow teeth - that kind of thing.
Now it's all about looking forward, trying not to panic! I have to hire a car and get myself to Birmingham for Monday, for some training on the new weather system, and on Thursday I'm off to sunshine....which means that for the last 3 days I'm in the UK, I'll be in a city where I know no-one!! What bad planning.
Best go - leaving drinks call
