It’s a short week this week with a long weekend planned from 6pm tonight! The pandemic feels to have liberated the need to always be contactable for me and the fact that sometimes you’ll have to wait a day or so for a reply. It won’t be a relaxing weekend but it’s time with peopleContinue reading “This week: Hybrid working, green cities and robotics”
