.... I just realized that next week-end we move top my new apartment. Today the kids and I called for help from mother and sister to start the packing . Next week the team will be complete for the moving of one end of Mechelen to the center. ... I think I will throw a house warming part, but we still need to decide on the date ...
last Friday I was out on town with Jan from Jip and Janneke the producers/directors of the WorldQuest adventure. He met up to celebrate the award Sony Ericsson WorldQuest received at the Night of tea advertising in Belgium. We won the award for best Interactive campaign and best return on investment .... a pithy we can not go for the 06 version because after Friday we are sure: it was a one of our best experiences ...
Talking about work: it is not only getting used to new colleagues, but also to new agencies :-0 ... it is when you leave a job after 4 to 5 years and then start over again that you realize how deeply interwoven your thinking is with that of the lead agencies you work with ... It feels like in the good relationships I had with the lead agencies there was a common way of thinking and creating which made life so easy on one hand ... Today I have to start the process with the agencies again to come to that common ground from which the best projects are delivered ... But who from the agencies does not remember the first meeting with me :-) .. History repeats itself ...
talk soon - love peace and understanding my friends

Felt like coming home ....
this week-end. Believe it or not I went to Malmo this week-end. It felt good to re-visit all the places of which I parted now already more than a month ago. I thought I was never going to see them again, but there was some reversal of fortune. The food at Hai still tastes wonderful, served with a smile and that little exchange of thoughts with the people working there make it such a nice place ....
Running into Martin and Lisa had something enriching. Of course we talked a bit about work, but the most important things were what we were doing, how we felt and where we were heading to .... a new house, a new life ....
Earlier that week I met up with Cecilia F and Magdalena at the Audi Open in Brussels where I could witness the class of our Team Sony Ericsson in show jumping. Of course I took them out on a little tour in Brussels to show them my favorite places and my favorite bar.
It was a true joy feeling that after all I moved on, there will always be a place and a time to meet. Let this therefore be an open invitation to everybody reading this blog: don't be a stranger, you will always find an open door when you are around ...

Never realized ...
But last week was the first week in 4 years that I worked and slept the whole week in my own bed.
I'm glad in a way that I was home all week and that I could finally meet up with some friends in Mechelen without having to think about the next flight to catch. In a way it is addictive the traveling and maybe I'm just happy now not having to do this , but I know that I some way I will miss it in the long run ...
this week-end also it got more an more clear that the move is coming really close. We set the date of the actual move to Sunday 27th of November. We have to do this on a Sunday since the apartment is in the city center and on Saturday there is the market and a lot of week-end shopping going on ...
On the work front things are starting to get in place .. I tumbled from budget meeting to budget meeting. In Sony Ericsson it was the last thing I did, within Dunlop it is the first thing I do .. Talking about continuity :-) .... It is really fun trying to find the right tone of voice :-) for this new environment and to figure out the specifics of the business ....
