Relaxing is hard!
Had a great time, Ibiza is as great as they say it is. Everyone should go at least once. Highlights were D.Ramirez at Cream at Amnesia and watching the sunset at Cafe Mambo, made famous by the BBC and Pete Tong. Ibiza really does have beautiful beaches, its great to just jump on a boat, exploring the coast. I always notice the difference after a relaxing break. Its like animated part of the film bednobs and broomsticks begins.

Ibiza/Global
The weather has been backward in the UK so far this summer, cold when it should have been sunny and visa versa. However I finally made my peace with Mr.Sunshine after he decided to open his curtains and share last weekend. Which was lucky because on Friday I went camping once again. I went to Glastonbury a month ago and was disappointed to say the least. The weather is pretty god damn important in my book, I don’t care what anyone says.
Global gathering
So Last weekend I was at Global gathering. The biggest dance music festival in Britain. I’m pleased to announce I had a great time. It wasn’t until Thursday that I knew i was going. I got a free ticket through Jon at Flame, thanks Jon.

5 productivity tips
Thanks to the tips (not p.g) and my gym membership I’ve become exceedingly active. These are the tips that work for me, everyones different of course. Have a mooch through this article and see what works for you.
1. One step at a time
1. I do something new every few weeks thats very small, Instead of having a caffine/suger full soft drink on my way to work I now have orange/juice or water. My new task is to take the stairs if I have to wait more than 5 seconds for the lift, then race the lift! 4 flights of stair always gets your heart beating.
2. Double Task’trouble
Combining tasks, I’ve started to read a book on the boring bus jouney’s to and from work. I found the boring ride was making me feel sleepy. You got to keep the mind active else it’ll shut down. Keep on the go.
