On balance I had a good weekend. Sandie was feeling better for the first time in a couple of months so we even went to the theatre on Saturday evening to see “Men are from Mars and Woman are from Venus”. At first I was a bit apprehensive but in the end I really enjoyed it. We learnt that we are polar opposites on each of 6 key factors in a relationship; competence/relationships, rational/emotional, appreciation/comprehension, sequential/multi-tasking, confidence/express concerns, solve problems individually/solve problems by sharing. I was less concerned about the fact we are different and just happy that we have identified the differences; it reminds me of a quote from an old friend of mine who used to say, “a man’s greatest strength is to know his own limitations”.
Another highpoint of the weekend was the arrival of a couple of cycling DVDs. Now I am no longer restricted to going to Soulan Saint Lary when I want to ride my bike in my garage. Accordingly I had a quick trip around Cape Town on Saturday and I did the Tour of Flanders in Belgium on Sunday. Lovely.
This week it is Paris on Monday Tuesday and a client lunch in the UK on Thursday. It’s definitely very enjoyable to have Biarritz as my base. Yesterday I gave Maxime his bottle of chocolate milk before I left for the airport and I’ll put him to bed tonight. In between I managed to do some work and have dinner with an old friend in Paris. I’m very happy with that mix.
