🏋🏼 Made it to the gym for a very half-hearted workout on the elliptical. Brought me to a total of 10km of walking today, which isn’t bad. Let’s see what I manage tomorrow.
I’m back on the beach in Sitges in two weeks, so every little helps. Right?

📸 Spotted this in Soho this afternoon, on my way to a meeting.
🗑️ Got a reminder from Amazon that Prime was going to renew in just a few days. The perfect opportunity to cancel! I barely use the video service, am actively trying to buy less junk online, and never touched any of the other Prime ‘benefits’.
A very easy way to save £95 per year.
🚨 Finally, they’re going to investigate the fraud committed during the pandemic.
From The Guardian:
Chancellor understood to believe £2.6bn of public money lost to fraudsters during pandemic could be recouped
🪫 My Airpods Pro charging woes:
I pop the AirPods into their sleek, minimalist case and I pray to the battery gods above that they will both charge. Because, as often as not, one will charge perfectly, while the other will act as if I’ve tried to charge it by inserting it up my left nostril.
☕️ This morning in the office has been fuelled by caffeine. Flight delays meant I didn’t get home until after 10pm last night. And then it took quite some time for me to feel relaxed enough to get some sleep. Add to that this morning’s 6am alarm, and it’s been a tough few hours.
📸 Just been to the Picasso Museum here in Malaga. Stunning pieces housed in a beautiful building.
📸 I spent most of yesterday day afternoon like this. Sitting by the hotel pool, with occasional forays into the pool, with lots of people-watching thrown in for good measure. The Tan™️ has come on nicely as a result.
📸 We enjoyed a bite or two last night. The most delicious prawns and some very pungent chorizo!
📸 Enjoying Malaga with my travel partner-in-crime… The best and most low-maintenance friend I have for city breaks!
☀️ A little quiet on here as I’ve been enjoying Malaga so much! It’s so much nicer than I’d imagined and the weather is stellar. I’ll share some pics once I’m back in London…
✈️ En route to Spain…
✈️ Almost ready for take-off…
✈️ Enjoying the hospitality at the British Airways First lounge… 🥂🍾
✈️ En route to the airport…
✈️ I’m all packed for Malaga, no thanks to British Airways.
A couple of weeks ago, British Airways cancelled my flight and, after a brain-melting telephone battle with their poorly named ‘customer support’ team, I was moved onto a flight going out at about the same time - but with Vueling.
Disappointed to see no mention of “banning speakerphone in public” in this morning’s King’s Speech to parliament.
Time to start a petition, I think…
Oof. Lots to do today. Podcast edits, an evidence-based practice presentation to prepare, and a couple of coaching sessions later on.
💻 One month of blogging with Pika: a review
If a blogging platform’s success is measured in how many posts you write, then Pika is the best platform I’ve used in an age! I’ve been writing almost daily (or sometimes more than once per day) as there’s zero friction.
🍿 Just been to see ‘Despicable Me 4’ and it was as fun as I had hoped. Just can’t get enough minions.
Banana.
🎧 Just recorded a podcast interview with a super interesting guest. Someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about their topic and keen to share their insights with the world. It’s on days like this - with conversations like this - that I really love my job.
A pretty full-on day at the psychology coalface today. I’m going to the cinema straight after I leave the office, which is something to look forward to. But the first order of business: coffee ☕️
✈️ I have one or two travel plans for the next few months.
New blog post: Travel plans
💡 I spent the weekend intentionally disconnecting from work and instead spending time with family.
And you know what? I came back to London feeling great!
New blog post: Disconnecting.
✈️ Flying back to London this afternoon and, if I’m honest, Edinburgh Airport is the last place I want to deal with today.
But needs must. It’ll be nice to be home this evening.
