Sometimes, things don’t work out in business. You come up with an idea. You scope it out. You put it all together. You roll it out. Then, no matter the reason, it simply doesn’t fire. It doesn’t generate the response that you had hoped for, even though you’ve given it time, which leads you to making a tough call.

A regular, weekly newsletter arrives from a great friend and trusted colleague, at the same time each week. When a moment arrives in the diary to clear some things, I dial in and take a look. Except, it looks and sounds a lot like last week’s missive. Like, word for word. I reach out to my friend, who responds somewhat frustratingly, later in the day, that she’d also picked that up. Apparently, there was a “glitch in the system” according to the individual tasked with lining up the newsletter, that meant it was doubled up.

It’s a Subaru Outback Touring XT Wagon that’s made it’s way into our garage. As regular readers might recall, it’s been a long drawn out process that has led us to our first Subaru, and our first Japanese car. The fit and finish is simply incredible, the de-tuned WRX motor is a lovely, punchy thing to drive and the whisper quiet interior is comfortable, functional and top class.

“Good morning, I’m Rob, how are you” was the ebullient welcome I received, at the front desk, when I rocked up to a client for my regular, monthly meeting.

You arrived earlier in our lives, than was expected. Two weeks earlier, to be exact.

What a dour Federal Election campaign this has been? Uninspiring. Bland. Completely lacking in vision.

Businesses go through bumpy patches, from time to time. It happens to the best of them.

I’ve bought a new car. It was ordered in late February, and should arrive in late May. I stipulated that I wanted a 2025 build and 2025 compliance, hence the delay.
