The good news is. for a change. I hadn't been at my desk all weekend which means the debris from our SHINE - design & digital 4.30pm Team Beers on Friday was still sitting here when I rocked up this morning. There was a wee bit left, but it was warm...

It's been 525 days since we were all in the same room for a 'Monday Morning Meeting' at SHINE - design & digital So proud of how the team have conducted themselves throughout. Now, whose turn is it to get milk? I am sure I got it on the 3rd of March 2020… #teamwork #shine #glasgow

Exam results day. Qualifications are important. So is attitude. If you get the results you wanted it puts you on the path you worked so hard for. If you don't get the results you wanted it can still be the making of you. Either way, don't give up. Ever. #nowrongpath #exams2021

I was lucky enough to have a Teams call with R.E.M. yesterday. That's me in the corner... Just a bit of fun for a Friday!

Just noticed a typo on an e-mail I sent to a client yesterday. Instead of 'I hope you ARE well'......I typed 'I hope you ATE well'. You never know, it might replace 'stay safe' as a nice e-mail greeting. Eat well everyone. Dine your best life!

I was lucky to be featured in Herald Business yesterday as we look positively forward with our growth plans for SHINE - design & digital in the coming years and reflecting back on my career path as a 16 year old school-leaver and then the 22 years of SHINE. heraldscotland.com/business_hq/19…

Back at my desk (and a little bit tired) after two epic weeks off further to the arrival of the heir to the SHINE - design & digital throne. Right. Time for a nap.

The things I do for cash! Start of a long day, and my first business train journey in over 20 months… #sotired

Wishing the outstanding team at SHINE - design & digital as well as our epic clients, brilliant suppliers as well as all our friends and cheerleaders a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers! #xmas #hohoho #teamwork #donewith2021

Happy New Year! Back at my desk with a very sharp pencil and feeling as refreshed as a 14 week old baby will allow me to be!! Ready for a great year ahead and looking forward to catching up with the SHINE - design & digital team this morning to align our to-do lists for the days ahead.

I think I misunderstood when our construction client invited me to a night at the theatre?!?!?! SHINE - design & digital were filming last night at Hairmyres Hospital for Dickie & Moore Construction capturing the very impressive and newly completed theatre suites. #filming #content

It's great to be back working in the office of SHINE - design & digital… #bugger #expenses

I am looking forward to the privilege of speaking at the GlasgowBusinessClub next week. Second time I have spoken at this event, so I will need to remind myself of what crap jokes I deployed last time. I just hope they don’t go all 'Will Smith' on me… glasgowbusinessclub.co.uk/may-lunch-crai…

Slightly different commute this morning. Today is a lap of Arran with a new SHINE - design & digital client. #island #business #tour #ferry #creative #branding #design #digital

There are many famous examples of this type of rejection. Decca Records dismissing The Beatles in 1963, JK Rowling choosing to keep going after an eleventh publishing house rejected her ‘stories’….

Was organising car insurance and when prompted to put in the industry / sector that I work in... So I started typing 'Creative'. While that wasn't an option I was presented with a few that are making me rethink my entire career path!
