Enjoy yourself. It’s later than you think…

Awake
I’ve been awake since 3am this morning and I’m not that bothered. For starters, I’ve no idea what woke me up. The apartment was silent. I was just awake. No illness, no stress, just awake. After tossing and turning for about thirty minutes, I gave up and started to read. After an agonising ninety minutes,…

Moving, Tokyo-style
I fly to Japan tomorrow (via Helsinki and Seoul, but that’s another story) and I’m readying myself for some serious movement. On average, I end up walking about 25,000 steps a day on my visits to Japan. Sometimes, it’s significantly more. There’s so much to see and do, so many beautiful sights and neighbourhoods to…

Spring
Spring has, allegedly, sprung. Meanwhile in London, it’s dark, windy and very wet. I’ve been up since 5am, so I can catch an early train down to Brighton. I’m working down there today – the first of three client visits this quarter. And I ever so slightly regret agreeing to a 9am start time. Anyway,…

Repeat offenders
So… the upstairs neighbours were at it again last night. Or should I say, this morning. They came home some time around 3:30am and by 3:50am, their music and singing woke me right up. A quick trip down to the concierge later, and she had a word with them. But it took them a full…

Email
After six hours of very interrupted sleep, starting this morning wasn’t the easiest. But I had a big event to run as soon as I got into the office, so that was all the motivation I needed to get out of bed and get the day started. Unfortunately, I arrived to an in-box of absolute…

Next
For no one reason in particular, today has been a bit of a pain in the arse. I got out of bed, as they say, on the wrong side. Since waking, I’ve been dealing with a plethora of small annoyances, and it’s really soured my day. I left the apartment, to find one of our…

Movement
This month’s focus on moving around a bit more continued today, with over 15,000 steps around London. On top of my commuting steps, I went for a lunchtime walk around London’s Olympic Park (luckily, next door to my office). The sun was out and, although still bitterly cold, it was so nice to get some…

Exhausting
I watched the last two episodes of ‘The Last of Us‘ back to back last night. It was exhausting. I’ve come to this show with absolutely no background knowledge or expectations. I knew it was a game, but I’d never played it. Honestly, I only added it to my watch list because I saw it…

Commitments
Even when we want to, we can’t keep all our commitments. This is something I need to remind myself of, especially when others let me down. Thinking about this earlier today, I realised that I’d much rather know about a cancellation or disappointment straight away, no matter how abrupt, than be left hanging on indefinitely,…

Saturday
It was pretty much a perfect Saturday. Despite being woken by our feral neighbours at an ungodly hour, the day improved immeasurably from that point. I spent a couple of hours lying on the sofa, reading and drinking coffee. After finally getting showered and dressed, we headed to an art fair in Shoreditch and had…
