So #babybernie has moved it all up a gear. As I write he has piled up the cushions from the sofa and is lying on top of them by way of protest. The ‘disruption’ is over cooling down his porridge which spoon to use. You would think I had put all his toys and his […]
Rescue Me
So when in doubt write. Somewhere I lost my rhythm today. I think I lost my rhythm sometime on Saturday night. I was heading for a good nights sleep and woke up Sunday feeling like I’d been in a drinking competition and lost. The main spanner in the works is that I do my best […]
LinkedIn – YAWN
Sorry kids. I am pretty much done with LinkedIn, in fact the main reason I keep it is because it is easier than a CV. (A what?) As an aside… I am amazed at how many agencies and tech companies who are on the bleeding edge it ask for a CV. Even for contracts and […]
I think reading is the best gift you can give a child
Every since I met #Babybernie I have been thinking what is the best gift I could give him, what is the one thing that would connect to everything else? The one thing I come up with is reading, being able to read a book a week – so in 10 years he would have read […]
Ctr Alt Del. So while I was in Argentina….
SO I have been walking around all day thinking about what to blog about. We are back from four weeks in Argentina and everything shifted for the better. Just before we went I was at the end of my emotional string, not in a bad way – more like “Post Post Traumatic Stress.” The end […]
No Complaint Diet
Introduce negative people to each other and then run away. Last year I was having breakfast in the kitchen at 90 Mainyard with Tori and started a sentence “Look I know this is a bit cruel and negative but I have to say that xxxx” She stopped me and asked well if it is like […]
Should I write the title first?
Ok so I’ll come clean, I have been thinking about this post all week. It was partly written and I was ready to go and then I was not. The one I had ready to go would have been way better than the crap you are going to read now, don’t say I did not […]
My Berlin Airlift
One thing that has already happened with ‘blogging everyday’ rather than just ‘writing everyday’ is the ‘getting started bit’ – I thought it might start with a title, I have read soooooo many pages that say you need to start with a title. For me, at this moment in time it starts wherever it starts – […]
I think the post I have been avoiding writing all day is this:
I am very happy here in Buenos Aires and don’t really want to get on that plane at the end of the weekend. This has been one of the best trips of my life. I feel bigger, faster, stronger – that is a song BTW – I know what I mean. The blazing sun and […]
Falling towards Tigre….
This episode is brought to you from my favourite place on earth, no not the front row of a David Bowie concert, the jetty of our friends house in Tigre, just outside BA in Argentina. I am still trying to work out how we are lucky enough to have friends that decided to ditch their […]
I think I am ok now…. and other bits
At a quick glance I could seem much more exciting than I really am, the last few weeks have been zooming to Lisbon for the European Coworking conference where I stayed in the Copass Camp with 30 other ‘coworkers’ from the Copass community. Then back to London where I am part of the team delivering […]
“Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come to the OuiShare London Summit and change the world?”
“Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come to the OuiShare London Summit and change the world?” I’d like to be cooooooler but I am over the moon about the OuiShare London Summit next week in, er, London. There are over 100 people coming […]
Just another 30 day blog challenge… #29
Racing home to pick up #babybernie – I noticed the date today and was thinking how much has changed in the last 12 months. I have been ambling around listening to “Lola’s theme” by the Shapeshifters for nearly a decade (hells teeth – that long!) The key line for me is “I’m a different […]
Just another 30 day blog challenge… #28
Near my beloved 90 Mainyard there is the GIGANTIC swimming pool that was left there when the 2012 Olympic Games moved on. As well as walking past it a lot thinking ‘now I have joined I really must go in there’, #Babybernie has a swimming lesson in there every Thursday. We do it on this day […]
Just another 30 day blog challenge… #27
It’s NIL until you ship it. I am not going to be looking back at these last 27 or so days and thinking ‘that was the best work of my life’ but I am going to be able to spot where the contributions are to what will happen in the future. I was lounging around on […]
