Family ski holiday back in 2001. If memory serves, it was with a company called Mark Warner Holidays - where they look after your little ones, leaving parents to go and enjoy a days skiing. Great times!

Since moving to Spain, and while I am learning this pesky language with way too many Thhh, Ethhh and J's that sounds like Y's -- I've been struggling to understand Spanish web pages. Luckily for me - translate is something that is magical:

A damp drive around Spain

After cruising around in the Spanish rain, which did NOT fall mainly on the plain, we stumbled onto this lovely little restaurant. Food was exceptional, beautifully prepared, lovingly served and happily consumed. We will be back. If you are in the area simply search your maps for "Restaurant Gastrotaberna El Temple, Benidoleig, Alicante, Spain"

Exploring the new area after a rather exciting house move. It's wintertime here in Spain, here we are setting off looking for somewhere to stop for a mediterranean lunch. Step 1 is drop the trash off at the communal dump. NEVER Leave a full trash can in the kitchen with a 1 year old Springer Spaniel - A very messy disaster is sure to follow.

*NO* Not strictly speaking - since we can use The IBM Semeru Runtimes instead of ORACLE JAVA. ;) https://nicklitten.com/does-ibm-i-acs-need-java-nope/ #ACS #IBMi #POWERSYSTEM #AS400 #ISERIES #ACCESS #CLIENT #system

Do you want to master the seven PRINCE2 Processes for your exam in 2020 and beyond? Then make sure to check out my new PRINCE2 Process Roadmap and learn how the current syllabus PRINCE2 processes "speak" to each other, plus the key Management Products that are used. In today’s video, I will be taking you by the hand step-by-step and showing you how the seven processes within PRINCE2 work together with each other and along the way I'll pull out the key management products and show you how they're all used If you want to shine in your PRINCE2 2019 Practitioner exam, you need to pay attention to and master the PRINCE2 SEVEN-Process Framework. You must become expert at how these processes' interplay, so you can apply these vital areas to ANY exam question. [more] https://www.projex.com/prince2 And if you ignore mastering these Processes? Well, let's just say you're very unlikely to ace your PRINCE2 Practitioner exam at first try. So check out this video to nail down your PRINCE2 knowledge, as it has become the focus for the PRINCE2 2019 Syllabus. Here are some cool skills you'll learn in today's video: - Why it is essential to include the PRINCE2 pre-project process BEFORE considering detailed planning - Learn the Achilles Heel of using PRINCE2 plans without strategies - Uncover the heartland of PRINCE2 business case control - Discover how to blend the handshake of PRINCE2 stage control and work delivery - Learn how to implement project and stage tolerance levels - Master the application of critical end-stage planning and decision-making - Learn the detailed process steps of Management By Exception - The twin options and decisions when closing a project that you MUST take #prince2 #prince2processes You'll ALSO learn ... - Without memorizing, starting with the Project Mandate, how each process and their main management products gradually build into a seamless step-by-step sequence – providing you with a PRINCE2 Revision Overview. - How the biggest mistake folks can make is to immediately start investing time in planning - that can be an expensive mistake since you need to establish whether we should be doing the project in the first place. - The next step in my PRINCE2 Process Roadmap is getting real power from PRINCE2 FAST by tailoring it to suit a specific project and that starts in the process called Starting Up a Project - How to harness and apply the power of the Product-based Planning technique steps to build all your PRINCE2 Plans. - You will grasp the interplay between the Project Board and how they ‘handshake’ with the FIVE key PRINCE2 Processes - Next, you’ll learn that the Managing a Stage Boundary PRINCE2 Process has only TWO purposes – when you understand that, everything about the process falls easily into place - Tolerance is the next ‘fumble factor’ for many students – particularly when carrying out PRINCE2 foundation revision, so watch me showcase how it is applied during project start-up through to the Project Board and Project Manager interplay – once you know how this works within the PRINCE2 Processes, it will become easy! - Crucially, most students don’t grasp management by exception. Sure, most understand the concept – but I show you how it blends seamlessly into SIX of the seven PRINCE2 Processes. Most training fumbles this aspect, but my powerful PRINCE2 Roadmap will make it instantly clear!

November in Hawaii is better than July in most other places on the planet :)

Fun over, work begins... what a wonderful few days ;)

Searching for that oh-so elusive sunset led to laughter, great food, silly jokes and evening strolls with the most mesmerizing woman in the world - Miss Friday.

Too Many Gin and Tonics, Late night Pizzas, Boutique Hotels and roof down exploring... all with massive grins.

Landing in Tampa and starting our mission to get lost in Florida. Our intrepid heroine, Miss Friday, with her trusty Butler toured the funny sweaty State searching for sunshine, laughter and IPA. But we dont drink IPA. Ever. Probably.

Another wonderful day exploring Florida with Miss Friday. From Brians Place for Brunch, hours of exploring and roadtrip laughter ending up with a Shellfish evening to watch the (invisible) sunset. xx

A big family Bash for Mikey Michelson's birthday weekend. Lots of beer (seriously a lot!), camp fires, fishing, swimming, cooking, chilling and did I mention drinking beer? The kids had a blast, the adults chilled, smiled and forgot the world that is panicking about the Chinese flu! Great times!
