Spendind a few weeks in our second home in Boulouris-sur-mer in Saint-Raphaël, South of France.

It is where I relax and reload my batteries, but also where I write my books and academic articles.

It is summer time and life is good. Luckily we also have great broadband so a couple of work meetings a day is still possible to manage for a workoholic like me.

…vacation. Some days off.

I am off for a few days of summer holiday with the family to reload batteries and enjoy new books, the sun and a glass of rose’ wine…
