A question I get asked a lot – Is that you on the bike?
I went through heaps of designs when considering how State Of Play would appear on a can of beer. The truth was in my photo library. Going back to the story of assessing my own State Of Play back in 2020, the lifestyle change and the joy that unravelled.

My photo library revealed quite a different story after July 2020. No late night boozing, more early morning bike rides. No easy eat takeaways, more baskets of market treats. And heaps of family time cruising the streets of Amsterdam with the kids on our bikes. This was living. It was grown up playtime. We would bike everywhere. To go pick up the Xmas tree, to get our groceries, even Mosman the cat had an outing…

With change comes opportunity. A 2 year Facebook memory popped up yesterday. I’d headed to the local cafe Gruiter in Amsterdam after a 77 day lockdown. I craved social. 2 weeks later I stopped drinking alcohol because I craved motivation & making progress.
I still hammer the hops without the hangover and love championing zero alcohol beer that tastes like beer, enjoyed with mates like beer, bought in a pub like beer.
Im a covid baby. I love the quote “everyone is born with two lives, your second starts when you realise you only have one”. Cheers Confucius
