Business waste has an irritating habit of appearing exactly when everyone has something more productive to do. An office refit leaves desks and monitors behind, a property job produces timber and bathroom fittings, and suddenly somebody is spending Tuesday afternoon working out how to make it all disappear responsibly. HIPPO offers businesses several ways to...
Sharing a bed is supposed to be one of the comfortable parts of a relationship. Then snoring enters the picture. One person is sound asleep while the other is staring at the ceiling, wondering whether another gentle nudge will work. Eventually, gentle nudges become louder nudges. Someone moves to the sofa. By morning, both people...
Most bedtime routines are built around getting comfortable. You dim the lights, put the phone away, adjust the pillows and settle in. If snoring starts twenty minutes later, though, all that preparation suddenly feels a little pointless. It is easy to focus on how quickly you fall asleep and forget about what happens during the...
There is usually a point when snoring stops being funny. Maybe it is after the third nudge of the night. Maybe one person starts falling asleep on the sofa because it seems easier than spending another night listening to the same rumbling sound. Or perhaps both partners simply get used to waking up tired and...
Snoring has a strange way of becoming normal. At first, it might be something your partner jokes about in the morning. Then come the occasional nudges in the middle of the night, followed by separate pillows, interrupted sleep, and the familiar question: “Did you sleep okay?” The answer is often no, and not just for...
Hay días en los que la televisión se enciende con un propósito muy concreto. Empieza el partido a las nueve y no hay mucho que discutir. En otras ocasiones, el plan es bastante menos preciso: sofá, algo para picar y una película que consiga mantenernos despiertos después de una semana larga. Lo interesante es que...
Compartir sofá no significa compartir gustos. En una misma casa puede haber alguien esperando el próximo partido, otra persona buscando una serie para engancharse durante semanas y alguien que solo quiere encontrar una buena película para terminar el día. Elegir qué ver puede convertirse fácilmente en una negociación. Precisamente por eso tiene sentido contar con...
El viernes por la noche puede pedir una película. El sábado quizá haya un partido que nadie en casa quiere perderse. Y el domingo, cuando no apetece salir, tres capítulos seguidos de una buena serie parecen un plan bastante razonable. Nuestros hábitos de entretenimiento cambian constantemente, y tener que saltar entre varias plataformas para encontrar...
Hay noches en las que apetece descubrir una película que no estaba en los planes. Otras veces, lo único que queremos es continuar esa serie que dejamos a medias el día anterior. Y luego están esos fines de semana en los que una buena historia puede convertir el sofá en el mejor lugar de la...
A busy week has a habit of making dinner more complicated than it needs to be. You finish work later than planned, open the fridge and realise the meal you had in mind requires three ingredients you forgot to buy. At that point, cooking something from scratch suddenly feels much less appealing. The obvious alternatives...
