Landed DXB - Dubai

Well, the last order dates for the holidays have passed, and Santa's final sacks of festive MOOs are filling up fast. We're still taking new orders though, and we'll be shipping them out as fast as we can - so don't hesitate to order thank you cards for all your lovely pressies!

Just so you know, here's our warehouse and customer service closure dates over the holiday season.

Thursday 24th December - LIMITED HOURS: we'll be shipping orders in the morning, but going home in the afternoon to wrap presents.
Friday 25th December - CLOSED : we'll be at home feasting on mince pies and turkey.
Monday 28th December - UK CLOSED: we'll be buying new trousers to fit our expanded waistlines!! (please note this is a UK Holiday only).
Tuesday 29th December - OPEN: business as usual.
Wednesday 30th December - OPEN: business as usual.
Thursday 31st December - OPEN: business as usual.
Friday 1st January - CLOSED : we'll be trying out our New Year resolutions and nursing hangovers.
Monday 4th January - OPEN: that's it, holidays over, back to work!

It's also important to note that our StickerBook turnaround in the UK is severely delayed over the holidays. Any orders placed after the 20th December will not be dispatched until the week of the 4th January.

That's all for now - Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the MOO Warehouse Crew!

Italian pilot and Japanese and Serbian chief pursers on this Emirates flight. Interesting mix.

Two flight attendents out of two so far have spoken to me in Japanese on my Emirates flight from Rome to Dubai...

Time to start packing. A few phone calls, then off to FCO to catch my flight back to Dubai. Italy, as always, was amazing.

On a panel after my talk trying to understand the political context through translation...

Rough draft of my talk today in Italy... http://ping.fm/qfG4y

Cheesy American Christmas music blaring outside while I try to think about "Open Innovation and Italy" feels like a DOS attack on my brain
