💡 New blog post: A relaxing interlude

☀️ Well, my break is nearly over. I’m all packed up, checked out and now relaxing at the hotel bar with my laptop and some delightfully chilled sparkling water. My taxi is booked for Barcelona Airport, after which it’s back to life in ‘normal mode’.
📸 It’s only 9:30pm local time, but I’m already contemplating getting into bed.
I’m full of dinner and have just been hit by the kind of delicious sleepiness you get after a day spent in the sunshine. Seeing as I’m flying home tomorrow, I don’t think one early night will kill me.
📸 Last night in Sitges. Back to the reality of London tomorrow.
But for now, the sun’s still shining, I’m still on holidays and there’s delicious food to be eaten.
📸 Enjoying my last full day here in Sitges.
Already thinking about where I’ll go for dinner later. Food is never far from my thoughts when I’m in Spain.
📸 Last full day here in Sitges, so I’m soaking up as much sunshine as possible!
📸 Sitting down to order an early (by Spanish standards) dinner. But first, a bottle of this delicious alcohol-free beer. One of my favourites.
📸 Back by my hotel pool with a cold drink. After two and half hours on the beach, I needed some shade. It’s 32C and there’s not a cloud in the sky, so it’s pretty toasty!
Now cooling down and enjoying a book on my Kindle.
🏖️ On the beach this morning. My happy place. And surprisingly quiet…so far! Now to work on dealing with those pesky tan lines. 🍑
📸 I come to Sitges so regularly that they’ve named a bar after me!
☀️ Had to take a break from the sun! It’s 31C without a cloud in the sky. Back in my room to cool down, enjoy the AC and rehydrate!
📸 The cute little mobile coffee shop / bar near the pool at my hotel.
✈️ En route to Heathrow for my flight to Barcelona. And then a train to Sitges. But first, a big breakfast in the BA lounge 🍳
📸 Enjoying a few peaceful minutes taking in this view. Now it’s time for a shower and an early night.
☀️ Heading into the office early this morning, as I’ve a lot to finish before I fly to Sitges tomorrow.
Blue skies and sunshine over London, which I’m taking as a positive omen for productivity. A podcast to record, a workshopp to attend and a bunch of people to chase. 🤞🏻
💻 New blog post: Retreating to Sitges
I return to London feeling lots better, with a ton of notes and plans for personal and professional life. I experience a kind of inspiration there that I don’t get anywhere else. It just works, which is why I go back every year.
📸 Enjoying this sunset with a pornstar martini 🍸
📸 Decided on an al fresco lunch today, trying a new restaurant here in Canary Wharf: Oysteria.
🏳️🌈 Off out in that there Soho for gay-themed shenanigans (i.e. beers with a friend in Rupert Street 😉)
📸 Some new critical infrastructure installed in the office this morning. Much needed and a lovely relief from the heat.
🍺 It appears to be beer o’clock once again. Doing a little bit of work while I sip…
☀️ An early start in the office this morning, so I can wrap up early and enjoy some more sunshine. Who knows when Beer o’clock will strike!
I just need to run a webinar, publish a YouTube video, deal with insurance admin and edit a podcast episode first. Whew.
📸 Good evening from a very warm London.
🍺 It’s 30C and it’s beer o’clock. These things may or may not be related. Cheers!
📸 My little desk fan from Muji is working overtime this morning! But every little bit helps. It’s already 27C and it’s not even midday.
