Houses while you travel

I dont know what it is like in your house but it's late night TV for The Ashes in England and Le Tour de France! Alot of armchair travelling has been going on as we wind our way through the Swiss Alps and admiring the lush green mountains and quaint rural houses that look like Monopoly figurines randomly dotted on the country side. This Auto by Ing.M.Voglreiter house looks like a modern day chitty chitty bang bang but it is a renovated 70's house!

What you do have to admire about the Tour is the comeback king Lance Armstrong - to be a winner for all those years, take a break, then a break-up (Sheryl Crow) and a new wife and family and be in the front pack of the tour is nothing but inspiring. I am hoping to be able channel a bit of that inspiration to getting off the couch (who am I kidding) for for the time being I'm pretty happy with the scenery!

IDEAS DONT ALWAYS COME EASY

Part of my job is to think of new and intersting ways to do things. Then come the normal obstacles of budget, client preferences, building restrictions etc... But a bigger problem is the mental block. See the list below of ways to build your creative juices and ways to laugh about it.

Yvonne Adele from Ideas Culture has got me out of a few creative slumps and she has an online programme you can do in your sleep!!

NEW INSPIRATION?

When you cant get the creative juices going - put on a piece of music. Strings by Carneval and 'blow-your-mind' vocals by Ben Thomas give me enery to tap into.
