I am looking back at a very positive trade show in Milan. The fair was busy and as Benni says in a good way, "it is good to charge your batteries". After all the different fairs we have participated in, I feel it is fair to say that the personal touch, with both customers, suppliers and journalists is very refreshing every now and then. The AIBO we introduced was very well received and now we have to draw a winner to the contest this week!

Even more exciting, for me at least, is then to come home, see my pregnant wife and notice how well she is doing! I even had the honour to join her for the second time to the yoga class, were we as partners learned all sorts of things "one should know when the baby comes". I will not bother you with the details, but there are some minor ways in which the partner can contribute a bit to the big task the future-mother is having, and I know some of it now! I am thinking of relaxing exercises, who to call and what to bring!

This will be another exciting week, where we will go to Kiev to work hard on Developing new Business, the other side of my tasks besides Marketing and PR Alastian is looking at entering the markets in Russia, CIS countries and Central and Eastern European countries, so plenty of work to be done!
