I have a chest infection with asthma complications and have been told by my Doctor to stay off work and not to do any at home. It is surprising that I have lasted as long as I have given the kind of life I lead living in hotels, working long hours, eating badly and not exercising.

Strange hotel
A Japanese hotel has become popular with some of my colleagues, but I don’t fit the rooms.
Japanese food

Free drinks in the club room
I decided not to work at the hotel this evening – I need a break, and should think about winding down ready for my holiday (the family get a big angry if I spend too much time thinking about work). I have just been to the club-room and had some free drinks. I rarely drinks …
