Spot of Party Planning
Should I… shouldn't I… can I pull my finger out and get it done…. or not…. do I go biggish… or smaller…. will anyone come… do we need music… or are we too old… what time will everyone need to go to rescue their children/babysitters/dependent elderly relatives/dogs/cats/own livers? So many questions… but I think…

Bye Bye Boatie
Ah……. after many many years, Mr H has finally said his last fond farewell to 'Boaty'. We have officalyl sold our sailing boat. An he did so in the usual Boat-trip style – with a plan to spend a lovely weekend in great summer weather, sailing to a specifically chosen destination. Which, as ever, was…

From Dog to Chat-eau
OK, tenuous link but wanted to pop up the photo of the place I was facilitating in yesterday – a rather spendiferous chateau. Was running a big Insight Workshop thing-y for Pernod Ricard just outside Paris. Not entirely the best place for a group of 70 clients (mmm where exactly do you stick flipchart if…

OK, so it seems my suggestion of visiting the French Sewers (yes, a museum – really) proved to be the least popular petit-voyage, as instead of being somewhat reminiscent of the Phantom of the Opera…

Mr H’s Recovery
… is going rather slowly. Having had his op last Saturday, the copious groaning and emanating of pain from the top floor hasn't started to subside as yet. Think it was rather more grim and long-lasting than either of us had quite expected. He's caught between being proud that he had 3 whopping pile-nasties removed (the…

Brighton Breezy
Very nice day yesterday – nipped down sur le train to sort of sunny Hove – well, if you have a good imagination (and a thick puffa) anyway. Had a great ctach up lunch with Fi McNae (ex Added Value chum) and Janine – nattering away in the Ginger Pig over a very fine lunch.…
