Lucky is working for UXCO Group now

He gets around, don't he?

'He gets a-ROUND?'

He gets around.

'Oh, okay.'

Anyway ...

UXCO Group, investor, developer and operator of student and co-living real-estate (PBSA) in France, has announced the VEFA acquisition of a future ECLA-branded residence near Geneva.

Full details on this announcement can be found in the attached press release, together with visuals of the future residence.

'Seems reasonable, boss.'

Yeah, yeah.

I'd like to invite you to talk to Maël Aoustin, Group CEO and President of the UXCO Group Management Board, to take a closer look together at this acquisition and the major impact it has on the Group's ambitious growth plan in the co-living market for students and young professionals. 

No, you're all right.

I remain at your disposal should you have any questions or requests,

Best regards,
Maria

Thanks, Maria.

'Seems very reasonable, boss.'

Yeah, yeah.

Here's Lucky with the PDF -

...

Anything else?

I did a bit of work on my new poem last night. Because most of the lines are quite short, I might go up to 180-190 lines.

Somewhere between 800 to 900 words ... ???

I think it will be the only long poem in the first volume.

I probably won't send poems to magazines and (other) competitions until after the National Poetry Competition in March next year. I'll have to get settled in Owlman land first - if I can. This means I can polish this poem for months if I need to. At the moment, everything I have is polished, but I've got to write a "visionary" section of eighty to a hundred lines. Actually, the whole poem is visionary ... it's just that the final part will be very visionary, you dig?

Writing these poems has been quite easy so far. And to a very high standard! I think that's because I did over a million and a half words of creative writing before turning to poetry (again). I doubt that any poet in history has ever had a Karate Kid period like that.

Do you know what I mean?

Laters.
