📸 Enjoying an iced coffee in the park before I head into the office for a couple of hours.
📸 Good morning from a lovely, sunny London ☀️
🥇 New post: An Olympic effort
To me, it was such a refreshing change to have the ceremony away from the enclosure of a stadium. Why wouldn’t you use the beauty of Paris - one of the most stunning cities in the world - as your backdrop, when you know the world is watching?
☕️ It’s Saturday morning and I’ve been wide awake since 6:30am. No alarm, I just woke up naturally. A hugely busy day ahead, so I’m happy I’m getting some peaceful time to sit, drink my coffee, and catch up on the news.
Then to to the office to record a ton of video…
🥂 New blog post: Easing into the weekend
Someone cancelled dinner plans, and I couldn’t be more relieved!
📸 My “Happy Friday working from home” face
📸 It’s a little bit cloudy over London this morning, but I have some sunshine in front of me on the kitchen table until the weather improves.
📸 Post-webinar face. I think it went well - lots of questions and interaction. Now time to get back to writing that journal article. The deadline for submission is looming…
☕️ An early start this morning as I’m running an 8am webinar for some international clients. And I have a 5pm appointment at the other end of the day.
Already looking forwarded to that post-lunch nap.
🏋🏼 Made it to the gym again after work this evening.
A much nicer elliptical workout, while watching some ‘Tokyo Vice’'. Why though, do some people go to the gym for the sole purpose of making phone calls? Not while exercising, while sitting on machines and not moving a muscle.
Puzzling.
📸 Lunchtime walk, followed by a power nap on my office sofa… This is the way.
📸 Missing Malaga’s blue skies and sunshine this morning!
💻 New blog post: Getting shit done
At work as a psychologist, I coach and train professionals in ways to be more productive and focus on their priorities. But as I find myself saying quite often, knowing is not the same as doing.
📺 Aaaand…. that’s enough news about elections for today. I’m out.
🏋🏼 Made it to the gym for a very half-hearted workout on the elliptical. Brought me to a total of 10km of walking today, which isn’t bad. Let’s see what I manage tomorrow.
I’m back on the beach in Sitges in two weeks, so every little helps. Right?
📸 Spotted this in Soho this afternoon, on my way to a meeting.
🗑️ Got a reminder from Amazon that Prime was going to renew in just a few days. The perfect opportunity to cancel! I barely use the video service, am actively trying to buy less junk online, and never touched any of the other Prime ‘benefits’.
A very easy way to save £95 per year.
🚨 Finally, they’re going to investigate the fraud committed during the pandemic.
From The Guardian:
Chancellor understood to believe £2.6bn of public money lost to fraudsters during pandemic could be recouped
🪫 My Airpods Pro charging woes:
I pop the AirPods into their sleek, minimalist case and I pray to the battery gods above that they will both charge. Because, as often as not, one will charge perfectly, while the other will act as if I’ve tried to charge it by inserting it up my left nostril.
☕️ This morning in the office has been fuelled by caffeine. Flight delays meant I didn’t get home until after 10pm last night. And then it took quite some time for me to feel relaxed enough to get some sleep. Add to that this morning’s 6am alarm, and it’s been a tough few hours.
📸 Just been to the Picasso Museum here in Malaga. Stunning pieces housed in a beautiful building.
📸 I spent most of yesterday day afternoon like this. Sitting by the hotel pool, with occasional forays into the pool, with lots of people-watching thrown in for good measure. The Tan™️ has come on nicely as a result.
📸 We enjoyed a bite or two last night. The most delicious prawns and some very pungent chorizo!
📸 Enjoying Malaga with my travel partner-in-crime… The best and most low-maintenance friend I have for city breaks!
☀️ A little quiet on here as I’ve been enjoying Malaga so much! It’s so much nicer than I’d imagined and the weather is stellar. I’ll share some pics once I’m back in London…
