An afternoon in the Lanes

I think Brighton is a great place. It's got a certainly got a laid back feel. As if you're on holiday - especially when the sun's shining.

I'm not sure if it was this, but for some reason I've struggled to work effectively this afternoon. I've always known I get most done when I'm in pretty dull places. You know - airports, train stations, desk facing the wall. That kind of thing. Boring I know, but true.

To combat my rather lazy approach to work, I decided to head to the Brighton Lanes to work at a proper table and chair. Maybe this was some kind of subconscious attempt to replicate an office environment.

I headed for a place called Bill's. If anyone has yet to go to Bill's, I thoroughly recommend it. It's a greengrocer come organic cafe kind of place. Having been looking forward to it for some time, I struggled with the same problem as at the Tate - no plug sockets! Again both my phone and laptop were low on juice.



Fortunately I had enough battery to receive a call I'd been waiting for from Forum for the Future. We pitched these guys last week and knew we were down to the last two agencies. Brilliantly we've been awarded the contract. Less brilliantly whilst phoning the guys back in the office to let them know the battery died. Hopefully they'll have subscribed to this blog and will get an alert!

Anyway it looks like I've another minute or two before the laptop suffers the same fate, so I best sign off.

In summary for today:
Another good day of remote working. If all you need is access to web, ability to check mails and make the odd phone call, I reckon this t-mobile stuff is great. I'm not yet convinced it's great for the higher bandwidth stuff. Yet.
