Day 28: ephemeral #mbjune

A pair of hands holds a bunch of ripe raspberries over a perforated blue surface.

Ephemeral, like the amount of time that the raspberries in our alleyway last these days when we pick ‘em!

Day 25: decay #mbjune

A red and white mushroom grows near a piece of driftwood on a grassy field.

Throwback to my 2017 trip around the world — and a special road trip through Australia stopping in a place called Eden…

Day 24: bloom #mbjune

Bright pink flowers are blooming in window boxes on a balcony railing with a teal circular table in the foreground.

A nice evening to catchup on Monocle’s latest issue, with a big section dedicated to the best cities for Quality of Life.

Especially delighted to see a quote from Jordane Giuly — with whom I worked during my Spendesk days— about how Paris has improved as a place for business, and especially for technology companies of all sizes. Even less surprising was seeing Lindsey’s name in a quote about how the city has changed over the years.

It’s something that I’ve noticed over the past decade, and part of the reason why I’ve been back living around Paris for the past 6 years. Great quality of life, great work life balance, and — unlike 10-15 years ago— much more welcoming to foreigners and non-francophone visitors than it’s ever been.

Respect the city and its inhabitants and it’ll pay dividends the next time you visit for pleasure or for business :)
