6am

I wake up and reply to e-mails in the hour until my lively son, Elias, comes in and jumps on my head. Luckily, I don’t need much sleep! I used to go to the gym but we’ve just moved house and my company 2Point9 is busy so that’s gone out the window. At 7.30 me, my wife – Aisling –andElias head downstairs to have a bit of breakfast and chill out before the builders arrive.
