A snapshot of a productive Sunday morning at my favored espresso bar, inscribed “I’m the operator with my pocket calculator”.

Concluded a working session in London aimed at developing board sessions and exploring new perspectives on business development. Here’s a personal story background and tip for our next meeting in London: it’s an excellent opportunity to gain energy and ideas, and also to inject some fun into business or management development.
Hello again, apologies for the interruption, but we overlooked one detail. Let’s revisit the stories about our ‘Italy in London’, or, more precisely, Soho, that we didn’t mention last time. It’s wonderful to traverse Soho street by street in search of that special one. This story began a year ago. It was a Saturday, during that interim period between lunch and dinner when every place transitions into a leisurely mode, only to reopen a few hours later. In this brief window of time, we discovered Bocca di Lupo just before it was closing, with no available reservations before our flight. However, we were captivated by the sight of the long Carrara marble bar, perfect for light meals, with a view of the open-plan kitchen. As connoisseurs of bar seating in restaurants, we had been awaiting this reservation for almost a year.
Bocca di Lupo is a marvelous small Italian restaurant on Archer Street in London’s Soho district, which was rated the best London restaurant in Time Out magazine. In our view, with our discerning ability to discover and experience the city’s ambiance, it’s a place that enhances the senses and sets the stage for a memorable evening. Take a seat at the bar, order a Negroni, look around, smile, and explore the menu. This is life.
Every week, I hop on my bicycle and head to the local library. Sometimes I go with a specific book reservation in mind; at other times, I embark on a curious quest for an undiscovered gem. I must confess that I’m a true bibliophile—an unapologetic sinner in the world of literature. I find it almost impossible to leave with just one book. Instead, I often walk out with an eclectic collection that feeds my insatiable thirst for knowledge.
Currently, my literary haul is a diverse blend, ranging from training and lifestyle guides to healthy cookie recipes. I’ve also dabbled in books about Chinese cuisine and am diving into the captivating world of design movements and iconic designers. This vast spectrum not only enriches my understanding of the world but also amplifies my creative and business acumen. It’s as if each book I pick up serves as another invaluable consultation session, providing insights across various disciplines and industries, as well as lifestyle and living.
For some reason, I find myself continually drawn to the southern side of Piccadilly. Perhaps it’s the fantastic bookstores or the classic club land just a around the corner. It could also be the enchanting universe that is Fortnum and Mason, a seemingly infinite realm of lifestyle items. On my most recent visit, I discovered a new favourite amongst teas: Victoria Grey, a bergamot-infused blend. It’s perfectly designed for an afternoon sipping, especially when paired with milk. I can assure you, this chosen brand encapsulates the love of lifestyle experiences.
