I'm sitting in a very noisy cafe on a seat with a great view of people bored with shopping in Termainal 3 at Heathrow. I had hoped to be able to fit in a stint as a moderator at the Brussels Biofuels Markets conference later next week. But instead the business I work for has decided that I should go to New York to help cement ties with a business association in the chemicals sector (which is where the bulk of ICIS' business comes from).
I'll be in Manhattan, and if I get any time to myself, between my activities there then I'll be posting from the hotel.
