So Easter – almost done and dusted. I’m almost recovered from man flu. The nieces and nephews have almost finished eating all their chocolate and almost finished destroying the house. It’s all good, actually. I really like having them around. Perhaps it’s time to get some? I know the fiancee is keen. How hard can […]
We’ve got a house full of kids for the Easter weekend. The fiancee’s cousin’s family are up. Easter bunny egg hunt has just been completed, and what fun that was. Seeing life through a little person’s eyes is a great thing. What I loved most was seeing their little faces all lit up at finding
I’m still sick. On the couch, feet up, lemon and honey at hand. Actually, I’m well on the road to recovery, but I’ve decided to take another day just to really kick this cold into touch.

I once worked with a guy who was always late, always getting into arguments, always a sloppy worker. It was a construction firm and he was always being called back to redo his work. He had what is technically known in the trade as a “bad attitude”. Funny thing was, I got on really well

This isn’t an expose or anything saucy like that. I’m just preparing for a course I have next week with the British Army. They are my best clients, simply because I ask them to do something and they do it. Occasionally someone will ask for clarification, and then we go. The dream client is the

Someone wise once said that the result of meditation is the letting go of what you don’t need and what you are not. What happens when what you don’t need and what you are not gets dropped? You’ll have to tell me.
