May 2015 round-up

A belated round up, as the last few days of May (and first ones in June) were very busy, including a couple of big pieces of work due around the same time. Murphy’s law! Funnily enough, my #5pm pictures reflect exactly that: work features heavily in this month’s pictures, either directly (i.e., I was sitting … Continue reading May 2015 round-up

April 2015 round-up

April is high up on my list of months that just flew by. Seriously, where did the last 30 days go? April was also a month of contrasts: highs and lows, fast and slow, noise and silence… It was a month that gave me a lot to think about, as I was preparing my monthly … Continue reading April 2015 round-up

March 2015 round-up

Spring is here (at least officially), I had one journal and three conference papers accepted, and our lovely friends SP have visited us. So, all in all, the month is ending on a high note. And if it is true that 50% of my sabbatical is now gone :-(, it is also the case that … Continue reading March 2015 round-up

So, … Continue reading September round-up

Researching At the beginning of the month, I attended the Academy of Marketing conference, in Bournemouth. I presented 2 papers, including … Continue reading July round-up

June round-up

June was a very weird month. Following some health problems, I had to take time off at the start of the month. Really off –the ‘not-even-reading-a-book-kind-of- being-off' off. That means that I failed to achieve most of the things on my To Do list. Still, there were some highlights during the month. Researching … Continue reading June round-up

May round-up

At the start of the month, I wrote in my research journal: “May must be very, very productive”. By productive I meant researching and writing a lot. And I really meant it. But… ... my good intentions went down hill very, very, very quickly. As I look at the square in my diary that … Continue reading May round-up
