Well that was quite a week.
Otis is doing OK.
He’s feeling much better and we’re hugely relieved.
Even though the risk of kids suffering severe health issues due to corona is very small, seeing your child not well is always hard – made 10,000 worse with the media all revelling in making it sound like the bloody plague.
That said, it means we are in quarantine for another fortnight, but them so is the whole country.
Fortunately Jill and I don’t look like we have caught anything, but then it’s a 2 week incubation so who knows.
On the positive, if I do, it will mean I’ve hit the virus jackpot – which is something to be proud about. Maybe.
So back to the title of this post.
Scarily, it’s entirely accurate.
To be honest, I’ve been in quite a few ads in my time.
Blackcurrant Tango.
Triple J.
Even a Nike spot.
But never have I been one of ‘the stars’ … but I am now.
Take a look at this.
The best bit is this ad was seen by someone in Portugal who was as shocked to see me in it as I was when to find myself in it. Though I note they used a photo that doesn’t really show my face … which is obviously very wise indeed, but not quite as wise as it would have been to not invite me to talk with Mr Gladwell in the first place.
Which was going to be my long way of saying this is the last post for a week but Corona Virus screwed with the conference so now you will see me on Monday.
And you thought the effects of Corona couldn’t be any worse!
