Have to skip work today
I’ve caught a bad case of chest cat. So sorry. Nothing to be done.
This is my life now

Bobble has gotten around quite a bit
The first mention of Bobble the owl in my blog goes all the way back to 2005. I don’t honestly remember when Bobble started living full-time in my bag. Probably while I was working at the EBI and traveling a lot for business.
In the years since, he’s been to Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the US. He’s driven boats, ferries, tractors, planes. He’s travel on planes, trains and automobiles. He’s drunk lots of coffee, beer, wine, gin, port and cocktails. He’s eaten everything from gourmet meals to roadside fast-food. He’s enjoyed vices like cigars, gambling and tattoos. He’s attended scientific conferences, training courses and workshops, West-End plays and movies.
Not bad for a little ball of stuffing :)
Long live the owl!

Achieving enlightenment
I achieve enlightenment on a daily basis.
Don’t think. It leads to worry and stress and other bad things.
I love my wifey
She leaves me random post it notes.
(Now to be fully transparent, she left me this weeks ago, when I really started working from home full time, and it’s been stuck to my desktop screen ever since)
Virtual wine tasting
A couple of weeks ago, I got an intriguing letter from Celliers de Sion. As a way to drum up business during the lockdown, they were offering “wine in tubes”-based sampling sets of 8 or 16 wines from their selection. The wines are tubed under controlled atmosphere so they don’t oxidize.
Given that all our wine tasting events have been put on hold or cancelled, I suggested this to the wine club at work and it proved to be a popular idea. We all got our kits delivered by post and we met up online tonight.
It was the best use of corporate communication channels I’ve made all week.
Tasty, too!
Hold my calls!
Tolstoy was helping me review my meetings this morning.
My new meeting aide
Tolstoy has volunteered to sit in for me in some meetings. It would probably help if he knew how to type – or at least look directly at the camera.
