Smug in the sun
Blimey, looks like we timed our rather nice Maldives trip well, looking at the endless wet weather reports for dear old Blighty. Ok, so the trip didn't exactly start well, which will make anyone reading this at home feel better. Firstly, I get to Gatwick and realise Oyster doesn't go that far even though it's…

Cracking night
So, spent yesterday afternoon trotting round a hockey pitch in the peeing rain with various other current and ex Wimbledon hockey players, who had been rounded up for a farewell match to 2 girls heading off to live in New Zealand. My ribs were being a bit tweaky which is enough to freak me out…

Mmm, super helpful

Wed: –…

And life…

Emerging Markets
Just nearing the end of a very interesting two days of facilitation in Paris. All about Commercial Models in Emerging Markets, which at the first pass sounds dull as tits. But actually…. its been really quite good. Amazing in some ways what people are up to in China, India, Nigeria etc – incredibly creative and…

Off to Paris
Yes, I know this should be followed with the words 'Daaaaaaahhhling' and some exciting description of fabulously anticipated meals, a swanky chi-chi hotel and a Liaison Dangeureuse with some hot toyboy over Fruits de Mer and champers, but sadly….its just a workshop. And one which rather annoyingly someone else (a client, god forbid this should…

My black sailing jacket?
Ha, thought would put bloggie to the test as a Lost and Foundvservice. Going to lymington for our first spring trip out on our boat this weekend, and my black Quba sails jacket seems to have done a runner. Vaguely remember lending it to someone ages ago. Was it you?! Please return if so as…
