Quick Prof update
So, got the usual scores on the doors back from Prof's assistant Linda yesterday, post seeing him on tues this week. Had a feeling that they would still be creeping up – because that is precisely what they are doing - the days of it all staying pretty much non-readable and stable are sadly no longer…

Next Prof
The eagle eyed among you may have spotted that I was due to see Prof last Friday.. Given the late flight and me not fancying having the appointment ruin a very good weekend, I put him off till tomorrow. A minor victory – OK not really even a victory, just a shoving backwards of the…

Honkers & Sunny Whitstable
So, spent an entertaining 5 days in Hong Kong last week, training various bods in seemingly everything from Facilitation skills to concept writing, profitability and Innovative workshopping. Talk about having to walk round the airport to stay awake (flight 11.45pm, mmmm handy) and virtually crawling onto the plane home. Add in the ensuing 2 hour delay due…

Spring has sprung…
Well kind of, if you ignore the monster downpour in Hampton Wick just now, which set the freelance design lady's dog off barking like a banshee and delivered my two closest deskmates back here totally sodden. That'll learn them for going over the bridge for a spot of lunch – don't they know it has…

No.100 in the bag
Blimey – the prospect of actually being able to choose where we'd actually LIKE to go on holiday in the future now looms (rather than being driven by which new country I haven't yet dragged poor Hawksey off to). No.100 is well and truly dans le sac, with Mozambique bagged – if not the ever elusive…

on a deck in a game reserve in South Africa, watching 10 noisy elephants bathing in the lake beneath, trumpeting their joy…. Yes, deeply irritating for anyone at home in the snow and cold, sorry. Started off the trip with 5 lovely nights on the Bazaruto Archipelago, although with no sighting of the hoped-for dugong.…

Almost foiled by a rib or two..
So then – was it the fact that the girl I was chasing at hockey last week: - was younger than me – had longer, nauseatingly slimmer legs – was therefore a lot faster – had the ball when I didn't – or that it was the same one I'd nearly beheaded earlier in the game with a stonkingly walloped…

Twas all a bit grey but still good
So, yesterday had an Added Value awayday thingummybob, starting at the National Theatre, nipping via a sandwich emporium and thence heading as a nice surprise…. up The Shard. As per the usual Law of Sod, the weather that had been really good up until – oh yes, yesterday itself – turned grey and foul, and sadly…

Hockey schmocky
So – the glorious Aces sadly lost again yesterday, 2-0 to, fair enough, the side that's second in the League. While we remain languishing in 10th place – and we're only above the very bottom two teams as they haven't yet played their snowed-off game, so we may slide ever southwards yet… We've got 3…
