Travel
Well, it looks like my days in Hamburg are numbered! I moved here last Spring, mumbling ‘I’m so not going to move again in the near future’ as I carried my boxes down the driveway to my house. Well, with the announcement that all management functions in my company are being centralised in Geneva, it [...]
Today, I went on my first post op adventure: A walk to the 7-11 about 200m down the road to buy a few bits and bobs. It was nice to be out and about and it was fun to see what is in Thai shops (I love seeing those basic things when I travel!) But [...]

I love Paris in the sun, especially the spring sun which Paris is so famous for. I’m visiting that city of lights at the moment, enjoying a few more meetings with the management (they’re over here this week, after meeting them over there last week!!!) I’m camped at the desk I used to have when [...]
This week-end, my sweet girlfriend flew over from the UK for a week-end at my place in Hamburg. It’s always so wonderful when we can spend some time together and I relish every second I can spend with her. We had a lovely time, doing little bar talking and eating foods we like. It was [...]
Well, that was an interesting Friday! Since my ex is going on holiday to visit her parents, I need to go down to Geneva and pick up my little cat, Vilma. I’d planned to do that the last time I was there, three weeks ago, but couldn’t since my boss surprised us all with a [...]

Amongst the restaurants on this sweet square, full of people eating and drinking outside in the summer, is Le Mix, which is [...]

As you may have guessed, I spend far too much of my life in airports and in planes (in fact should you ever write me a letter, just address it to “Emily, The tall one asleep in 4F, Lufthansa”!) Now, one of the almost daily routines is the moment when the security guard looks dubiously [...]
Air Berlin is a budget airline in Germany (I know… The ‘Berlin’ just gives it away!) It’s an airline I normally avoid for leg-space issues, but now I have another reason to avoid them: They’re the only airline I know which offers its passengers porn. It’s ‘only’ Playboy, which we all know the guys only [...]
I travel quite a bit with my work and not being on the short side (OK, 1m84 is more on the too tall side) I don’t find economy class all that comfortable. If I can cross my legs, I consider that good leg space and whilst that’s not an all too common occurrence, it does [...]
I’ve not lived in the UK for a loooooong time now and until recently, I hadn’t even visited for several years. Well, this changed a few weeks ago when I went back to do some presentations to some customers and partners. It really was rather fun to be back and gosh, I do miss those [...]
