I haven’t blogged for a few days. My little voice tried to warn me. I’m travelling to Portugal tomorrow and the past 2 weeks have been a fog of anxiety and worry, mainly because I had an issue with my travel documents.

Thoughts of cancelling the trip did go through my mind, borne out of a fear response. My gut instincts were saying – “Go, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to attend this facilitators retreat, where some of the rock-stars of the Agile world will be present.”

My instincts won out and I’m going, albeit with a provisional travel document which means I’m going to have to ensure I get all my docs sorted out before the 6th May whilst I’m in Portugal.

I’m transiting in London and hope things will go smoothly for me there, in Lisbon, at the BA desk at Joburg International Airport…well, basically everywhere.

I’ll be posting as often as I can. Once I get to Portugal I’ll have lots of food for blogger inspiration.

The other thing which is causing me some annoyance is that my Akismet subscription was suspended. I’m annoyed because I got no email from Auttomatic telling me that the card they have on file is past its expiry date so the automatic renewal didn’t go through.

I realised that something was amiss then I started to get all this annoying comment spam.

I’ve updated the payment details so I’m now waiting for them to process the payment. It’s nice to get dozens and dozens of comments, only if they were real. It’s amazing the kinds of messages I’m getting. Who does this stuff?

I’ll visit your blogs as soon as I get connectivity in Portugal.

Until then.
