The weather was glorious this morning, so I grabbed the chance for a long walk along the seafront. Warm sun, sea air, and a quiet coffee stop. It is one of life’s simplest pleasures and on my doorstep.
Later, I knuckled down to prepare for an upcoming committee meeting for our Spanish community. I’ve been reviewing contracts and weighing up what actions are needed. It’s a reminder of how much goes on behind the scenes.
I also followed up on my recent event. I had some lovely conversations and there are a few opportunities to explore further.
I’ve been reflecting and have felt a bit flat this week. Maybe it’s the calm before the storm but I’m taking it as a nudge to re-tune. Back to basics: exercise, food, sleep. Small tweaks, big impact.
Meanwhile, property admin rolls on including Spain’s new registration scheme, a new tenant in one place, conversations with managing agents, and preparing for a board meeting. The gears are turning.
• A walk in the sun is never just a walk, it’s a mental reset.
• Behind every lively committee is someone quietly reading contracts.
• Momentum builds from meaningful conversations so follow up with intent.
• Feeling flat is feedback, a cue to reset your rhythm before life resets them for you.
• Property is never passive so stay proactive and present.
