Oslo was amazing as was London. I had a blast catching up with friends old. Big thanks to @ToneHansson for showing me around Oslo, @runeo34, @intoleranse and all the rest of the Oslo DataSaturday folks, as well as @Neil_Hambly for the great time in London.

This is a great example of the good community can do. Both my parents had cancer diagnosis over the last year, thank you to @sql_williamd and everyone who helped make this happen, you are saving lives. You can still sign up to be a donor or make a donation to @DKMS_uk.
The donor drive for @DKMS_uk last weekend has final results We got 47 donors registered and ÂŁ5503.55 monetary donations during Friday and Saturday at @SQLBits That's absolutely fantastic! Thank you to everyone who helped out in whatever way you did. My heroes today!

To all the organizers, volunteers, exhibitors, and attendees of #sqlbits2023, I’d like to say thank you for having me. To friends, old and new, many of us have had a rough few years and seeing you all was amazing and cathartic and just what I needed. I appreciate you all.
