Whilst I’m known to claim that emails from my portable devices emanate from “one of my work/life imbalance machines”, I do believe that if you don’t enjoy your job most of the time, you’re being unfair to yourself. So despite the hairshirt cries accompanying the demanding Lord Mayoral visit programme, 25 countries over 100 days of travel, air miles almost exactly 100,000 – I can only try and pretend that mixing cocktails in the skies on the way to the UAE isn’t fun.

Look Ma, I’m keeping my work/life imbalance in flight!
