Guest Post For Small Business Owners

I have a guest post on TAVASA, where I give 3 Reasons You Should Promote Your Business Around Public Holidays. Check it out.

And please leave a comment: suggest more reasons why small business owners should use public holidays as opportunities to promote their businesses , or if you disagree with me, explain why.

And thanks Gaynor and Ali, for hosting me. Much appreciated.





Spent part of the weekend with friends. I used to be real close with two of the friends I spent the weekend with. Over the past 20 years, we have shared at least 4 separate residences, starting with a small house we shared while attending university. Then, with marriages and/children and demanding careers ( and maybe even diverging interests) we seemed to drift apart. My time with them this weekend reminded me why we became friends in the first place. And I was very relieved that there were no silences and awakward moments to fill with chatter. Five hours after what was supposed to be have been a lunch appointment, we were standing outside the restaurant, arguing about some minor life point like we used to.


















I think I've become addicted to gardening. Also spent the weekend puttering , cleaning some of the beds, rearranging some pots and basically relaxing and enjoying the space. I'm preparing portions of the garden for Autumn/winter planting, because I want to make sure that the garden remains interesting even in winter.
