☀️ 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 🍳
☀️ 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.
📸 Missing Malaga’s blue skies and sunshine this morning!
☕️ 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.
✈️ I have one or two travel plans for the next few months.

✈️ 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.
☀️ Some unexpected sunshine in Scotland!
☀️ I didn’t have “Sunbathing in Fife” on my bingo card for this weekend, but here we are. Wearing shorts and lying back in some glorious(if sporadic) Scottish sunshine.
✈️ Made it to Edinburgh in one piece. Landed 17:02. Out of the airport and on the tram by 17:20. Now waiting for my train to Dunfermline.
✈️ Next stop: Edinburgh
☀️ I’m working from home this morning, which means I get to enjoy the view over the river. And the sun has reappeared, making everything look wonderful.
Then I need to pack my bag and head to City Airport: off to Scotland for the weekend, to see family.
📸 Enjoying the Sitges Pride parade last weekend. I’m missing the sunshine so much right now.
