So it’s just under 14 weeks till Christmas.
FOURTEEN!!!
As most of you know, this Christmas I’m going to be rather preoccupied so as I don’t want you to miss out on my festive generosity, I thought I’d give you your present now.
Are you ready for it?
It’s 2 and a half weeks of blog ranting freedom.
Yes, 18 days without having to read posts about Queen, Birkenstocks or … well, those are the only subjects I seem to write about these days.
But at least it’s not about fatherhood and how advanced my son is for his age.
Yet. Ahem.
But all that aside, isn’t that good news?!!!
OK, so the people you should be thanking are Wieden+Kennedy, Nike and the Chinese Government because the first two decided to push aside their better judgement and ask me come over to Portland for next week and then – yes, you guessed it – the lovely people at the Chinese Government have mandated there’s a week long national holiday the week after.
Seriously, the only people who are probably happier about this news is my planning colleagues – especially Paula – as this means she can now settle in to her new life and job without me talking to her every 2 minutes.
So enjoy my gift to you all but spare a thought for the people of Portland, LA, Vancouver and Nottingham because they’re not going to be so fortunate.
Happy [pre] Christmas and I’ll see you October 8th*.
