Oh that did me good this evening. There are many times in the UK we play that particular game in meetings. I also dislike Blue Sky Thinking, Bigger Picture and over here Silo is one of the most over used words.
HI Brain I loved thermodynamic. Happy New Year by the way. I have changed my name to Richards over the New Year.
Thank you so much for your comments, glad you enjoyed reading it.
@Bill Horniak In Madrid?
@hensel Was there anything else you think shoudl be mentioned? 12 is not enough to do many cities justice and of course this is a personal take on the city.
@Rudy1981 Why did you move away? There are so many great Fringe shows it can be hard to choose from them. I saw Eddie Izzard years ago & still remember his great stand up.
@dbvickery Thank you so much honoured that you love my travel posts. :)
@AmyMccTobin Hi Amy sorry for my late reply. Yes you are quite right #13RoseStreet is fab!
Great post although I might also put stop meetings altogether! :)
@dbvickery Blimey it sounds mega glamorous put that way "travel lifestyle". I guess that at one point I was working in a European context and that helped and the fact that my parents were keen travellers too. My most abiding memory of Berlin is the biggest and best bed I have ever slept in! Dinner at the Reichstag is a very close second.
@dbvickery Your daughters are lucky to have you. I hope they enjoyed their trips!
@sharongreenthal For a day? No wonder you cried! Next time stay a few weeks, enjoy, relax and let us know what you got up to. Thanks for reading.
Great, and not what I expected which was even better! I always ask three questions, what is the purpose, whats the value and what is it? Only when those are answered should we move ahead in business.
Some of my journeys driving pass in a blur because my head is busy with other stuff. I find that scary and wonder what would happen if I something required my immediate attention on the road! Having said that I find driving the best place for great ideas and know many who do too. I hate the train because it gives me motion sickness so cannot read but can meditate. So was looking at these thinking that it depended on what your mode of transport was. Great blog.
@susansilver My daughter is taking French and wants to study it at University. She hopes to spend a year in Paris so it will be a fabulous excuse to visit her.
@dbvickery @kfvickery Spain is an amazing country and the people are fabulous. I love Andalusia and there are some incredible cities to discover off the beaten track. I dont speak Spanish which is annoying but my youngest does.
Agree, waves from across the pond and feel we are only a few doors apart. I love this community and the writing is like having access to the best book in the world. For someone like me with the attention span of a gnat the variety is part of the charm.
Sobbed my heart out as I read this. Totally wonderful way to say goodbye though and fabulous that you were with her. I did laugh at the Marti songs though as my kids think I am mad singing to Tilly who is curled up under my desk as I write this. I have had a few years without a dog in my life and whilst I have always had cats I agree that it is not the same at all. Sending positive vibes your way.
@DixieLil my 12 year old was inspired by the food and flamenco when she went! I suspect your kids had the party of their lives!
Great post and very timely as I set about writing a book with an American friend made on twitter! We are using skype and email. :)
