For quite a while in the consultancy world, the concept of digital transformation took hold and became popular as a phrase. Personally, I...

You've probably gathered that the diet has taken a back seat during summer. Less of a back seat, more of an order to get out of the car...

Getting home from Romania was an ordeal. For some reason we keep organising our lives for the last day of our holidays to be over 11...

I have a tin ear for foreign languages. I recall once in some Arabic country I was working in asking if my client contact had spoken to...

The party was a lot of fun but it's a hell of a long way out in the middle of nowhere. When it finished at 11:30pm, there were some...

I'm on the corporate travelling trail again, flying hither and thither, which means any aches and pains you have accumulated at home...

Some dental receptionists are chatty and welcoming. And that's often a nice prelude of a thing to experience before shortly afterwards...

Everyone who doesn't live within 3 miles of me saw the Northern Lights over the weekend. So that's pretty much every living soul in the...

This weekend the theme of incredible wealth continued. One of our friends has moved into a bigger house, so Iulia has increased the tempo...

Had a brainwave yesterday. A really diverting one that has fired me up in a way not much else has in a long time. Workwise that is. Don't...

Timing is everything when it comes to ringing the kids. Most of the time they just don't pick up. Then when they do pick up, in Finn's...
