Project_M, Day 4/28
Another day, another dollar. A very full day of appts. at my makeshift desk with a very hard chair. Finally managed to break free at 15:00. Decided to take the bike for a ride. Got lost once, confused twice, but found my way home. Whipped by the wind, and kissed by the sun. My highlight…

Project_M Day 3/28
Good Morning with some serious yawning! It was Gwen’s birthday. And then I spent the rest of my day working, moving furniture and keeping warm. Workcation sometimes more work than _cation, but that’s okay. Had dinner in Portixol, with a pornstar martini to underline Feierabend mode.

Project_M Day 2/28
Monday, a normal working day, with online appointments. However, I also welcomed my first visitor, and sent her to work straight away. Then I hopped onto my two-wheel-device… … and got lost. What a ride, blew the cobwebs right out of my head!

23 Feb 2025 Project_M Day 1/28
It’s not like I didn’t see it coming; I planned it, so what did I expect? After packing rationally, but with my favorite coffee & tea, I flew to Mallorca Sunday evening. I have wheels, and a license to … Mi casa is lovely. Rural, and comforting in its own Spanish way: I did some…

1 – 5 January, Schloss Elmau
There’s no better way to start a new year than being somewhere that allows you to clear your head, wipe the slate clean, and breathe new air. It was very physical, enduring and rewarding. We love this place. The staff are amazing, the food delicious, and the ambiente private. This place lets us know how…

1 – 3 December, Mallorca
Or as Europcar would say Ma Your Car! Another trip to la isla bonita. This time with a whole lot more people. It was a fun and action-packed three days. We had good food: It was a hot lemon & honey rich experience, and we all loved Valldemossa. So pretty & quaint. Here’s to more…

19 November, Timișoara, Romania
Oh, what a crisp way to begin the day. A nice wake-me-up-before-I-go-go morning run. The trophy was a yummy coffee. And then it was time to take our seats for day one of meetings: Lunch time used to escape & take a stroll in the autumn sun. And yes, postcards also sourced! Stamps, too. And…

18 – 22 November, Timișoara, Romania
A 04:30 taxi pick-up, a 05:00 train, an 08:25 flight to Munich and then another flight to Timișoara at 11:40, an Uber to the hotel, et voilá I made it. Crisp factor 6 out of 8. A wiedersehen with the SE works council reps, and four more nights away from home. The city is pretty,…

1 – 3 November, London
The big smoke aka London never gets boring. This time it was a quick hop and skip to take one of the four children back to the UK for another half-term at school. For non-British residents, don‘t even try and rent the Santander Bikes. It doesn’t work, even though downloading the app does. We were…

11 – 19 October, Mallorca
Mallorca one month later. This time with my family and a bit more time for everything. We had a lovely house in Randa: And we had a crazy adventure walking the Torrent de Pareis. And we did a lot for our Vitamin C depots: Here’s to many more days on la isla bonita in 2025…

26 – 29 September, Bremen
Workcation as in work mode on, vacation mode thereafter. I love going away for this form of deep work. Few if any distractions, focused thoughts, and no chance of procrastination. Combine it with yoga in the morning, some more sports later, a bit of sauna, and a nice evening meal and you’re in this amazing…

13 – 15 September, Zeewolde, NL
Kaospilots go Resort De Parel. Finally we meet again. Tallinn, London, Hamburg, Dortmund & Bielefeld (sounds like a heist team) in one place at the same time. Fantastic. It all started in 2016 in Aarhus, DK. A creative leadership course full of individual individuals! We had a great weekend together, cooking … Eating … Cycling…
