W Sisters Short on Maniacal Laughs

by

I’m not sure 100% why, however, when the other day the girls were trying to one up each other with their maniacal laughs, I thought I might be actually succeeding as a parent.

They used to spin around slowly in my office chair, holding stuffed animals going well well well what do we have here in their best Dr evil impression I was also equally impressed.

Now with our cat it’s almost like they have seen Austin Powers (they haven’t) because they do the same thing wi5h our cat and it reminds me so much of doctor evil. They have instead I try it and taken videos. Still winning as a parent if I do say so myself:)

15 Years

by

I wanted to write something to mark my 15th anniversary at LSEG (Thomson Reuters, Refinitiv, LSEG). So much has changed with me and the world . Yet I still get excited by a view like this one out of our conference room during a workshop today. It’s a very different view from my memorable ones out of the office in Times Square or Docklands, but just as energising.

It also helps to still be working with people who make every day fun even after 15 years.

The Stuff of My Childhood Nightmares

by

Going to Macy’s when we were in NYC in August we took the escalator up to the 9th floor to goto the Luggage section. Between the 8th and 9th floors the escalator’s change from more “modern” metal ones to a wood one. I recall these from Macy’s from when I was a kid. Back then they very likely between more floors than this one. I remember being very afraid of stepping onto them. They were rickety and old looking even then. They also have much wider “teeth” since they were wood so it was always scary. Seeing them again brought back an inner scream of “Nooooooo”.
