| Hey - it’s Andy,
Time for the Weekly Takeaway.
Each Friday, I'm sharing my unique insights and experiences from the past seven days, inspiring you to shake things up and think outside the box about your one precious life.
Reading time: 2 minutes & 50 seconds
My Biggest Takeaway
Estar de Rodríguez; adj. the state of being left at home alone
Jules has now been gone for 3 weeks and I’m wandering around the apartment with a face like a smacked arse.
When our Chiropractor heard she was going away, he said to me ‘Aha! Estar de Rodríguez’ which loosely translates to ‘when the wife’s away, the husband can play’ - hardly.
We never take each other for granted, but when you’re on your own for the best part of a month you start realising all the little things that your partner does to make a home a home.
I’ve found things in cupboards, the freezer and fridge that I never knew existed, and our cordless iron was a complete mystery - I looked like a monkey trying to figure out a Rubik’s cube.
I guess it works both ways with me doing the techie and work stuff that Jules never sees. So when it comes to being apart it’s nice to have a reminder of what goes into a successful relationship.
This also goes for partners, friends and colleagues 😊
Jules - come home now, please!
Experience of the Week
Another Trip Around the Sun
It was my birthday this week and boy did I party hard!
On the big day I went on a bike ride around the manor, baked some banana bread and drew a Matador using Artificial Intelligence…
I need to stop living life on the edge - I’m not as young as I used to be 😉
Song of the Week
Hothouse Flowers - I Can See Clearly Now
After what seems like weeks, the sun finally came out again so I thought this was fitting (it’s also going to be the opening anthem at our ONE LIFE live events) 😎 - check it out and turn it up loud...
Quote of the Week
“It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.” - Hugh Laurie

Ask me Anything
Yep, just hit reply and ask me about Life, Business or anything else.
I promise I’ll reply personally, ‘cause that’s how I roll.
And Finally - 3am Thoughts...
It's 3am and your wide awake - those irrational thoughts and fears start kicking in big time...
Here are some of mine from this week:
- Those were the wrong choc chips for the banana bread
- Why do Airbus make hydraulic pumps that sound like a barking dog?
- Was it cash or body parts in that bin liner?
- How heavy is our bathroom door?
- Tuna definitely doesn’t work on pizza
- How long can I park at Morrison’s before I get clamped?
Yep, I'm human too 😁
That's it, I'm outta here - have a great weekend!
