Up with the Lark today, at least I think it was a Lark, or some bird that sounded like a Lark! Quick shower and email check and then off to the gym for the first workout for some time. I arrived in good time, the session was hard but great fun. It always amazes me…

I think my body works independently of me sometimes, other times I am convinced it is a bigger practical joker than I am! Today, after four days of really bad neck pain, I woke to discover the pain had all but gone! Now that sounds like good news, however what you need to know is…

Andy, Edd and I had a series of meetings today, culminating in the launch event of our B2B networking in Coventry at 1800. So, not only was it an early start, as usual but we were all looking at a 20 hour day.

I started the day today in one of my favourite ways, visiting the Apple store. I had a bit of an accident with one of my Mac's a month or so back and I finally managed to get it booked in for repair. This morning it was ready for pick up. You have no idea…
I woke very early today, for no good reason, poor Andy he was getting a bombardment of emails from me at 0500 this morning. The good news – this did give me time to go to the gym for a 0630 workout, which was hard but most enjoyable.
I didn't go to the office as…
I was pleased to be back at work after all the excitement of all that sport on TV over the weekend. You know you're getting old when you find it exhausting being on the sofa watching sport instead of actually being on the field of play!
This week needs to be a big one for…
I have to admit to being quite pleased its Friday. This week has been a long one, although I've met some great people, one in particular really got my attention for all the right reasons. I had a really mixed bag today, in and out of the office and quite a bit of planning for…
