remote work yet again

My search for remote working spots continues. I feel like there’s an opportunity niche to work on here because there doesn’t seem to be enough around. In this whole new world of the remote (and hybrid), we can’t seem to find enough local places we can work from, outside our home, where you don’t needContinue reading “remote work yet again”

moans and groans

Nobody likes dealing with complaints. They’re like a hot potatoe everyone avoids and pushes away, for someone else to deal. It’s also not something that anybody can deal. It requires a psychological thought process, the ability to empathize while distancing, an a hell lot of diplomacy. You will find that most of the dealings withContinue reading “moans and groans”

Greek memories

Coming from different countries to meet, we landed at different times. Sonia arrived in Greece 4 hours before me, which meant that she had to find something to occupy her time until I arrived. I told her to check in at the hotel, rather than lying around on her own. Being in a different countryContinue reading “Greek memories”

it’s the little things

I like to think I am a very down to earth kinda person. My idea of luxury seems to be very different to most people’s. I am an incurable romantic. I am incredibly touched by little things.

mitigating distance

The Pandemic kept us all away from our dear ones for far too long. I mean, it’s bad enough going through that living in the same country, let along when all your extended family members and friends are in different countries. But this is a new experience for me. I am meeting my best friendContinue reading “mitigating distance”

no more smileys please!

#rantalert (Just in case the heading was not clear enough). Nothing puts me off more in reading emails than the ones that have smileys on the subject. It’s just… No. They are fun and colourful in the body text. Don’t add them to your subject. It strikes me as a terribly desperate call for attention.Continue reading “no more smileys please!”

it’s true, we are what we eat

When I decided to stop working full time, I already knew this was not going to be a full stop. Mums are very busy people. All. The. Time. “Eating well (i.e. a well-balanced diet rich in vegetables and nutrients) may be associated with feelings of wellbeing. “ Diet and Mental Health My initial thought wasContinue reading “it’s true, we are what we eat”

Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Travelling?

Got a bit distracted with courses and all-things writing but the lockdown has not taken the best off of me yet. The days have noticeably become bigger. Bigger and sunnier. It’s still a bit chilly but it’s starting to look a lot like Spring. Finally we see the light! We can say we know toContinue reading “Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Travelling?”

Fellow Freelancers, I Salute You

Time to Face The Music You decide to go freelance in an era where more and more people are looking to be one. Competition is deemed to be fierce. And the vision of our goal is like a dark endless tunnel. There seems to be no reaching it any time soon. It’s anything but easy.Continue reading “Fellow Freelancers, I Salute You”
