Brighton day trip !

Image
  Today we woke up and decided to have a day out, now the question was where to go ! We considered a few options Oxford, Portsmouth or just staying local but eventually we decided on Brighton. It was a nice drive down with little traffic and just over an hour latter we were parking, I think I found one of the most expensive car parks near the lanes. The seafront might have been a bit cheaper if you’re deciding to go.  We explored some of the lanes first, it’s mostly jewellery stores and a few boutique stores but worth a look. It was then looking at the pavilion for the pictures. There were some morris dancers as it’s May Day today. We had a look at some of the shops. We headed down to the sea front and the weather was gloriously sunny. A walk up the pier which cost £1 we weren’t tempted by the arcade and fair ground.  We had a walk down the beachfront for a bit and even looked for some sea glass on the beach but they were only small pieces and the tide was high. While we ...

Course work, Windsor and Gallions path

Image
 Golf balls sold 376  It was an early start today, after a healthy breakfast of granola and yogurt it was straight into the course work. I was tasked with laying out the evaluation tools to improve a business and explain the measures I would put in place to change its working practices so a full on essay. It was fun to lay it out and write it though and to break down the task into its different elements.  For lunch it was a nice walk to Windsor and Eaton for lunch in Côte Brasserie. It was confit of pork belly with gratin potatoes. Now the pork was very fatty but I guess that’s because it’s belly. But I loved it and the service was good. With a crème brûlée for dessert all was right with the world, a pink lemonade and bottle of tap water was perfect. It was a nice walk home with a new book to listen too.  I came home did some more course work about signs and information management techniques before heading up Gallions path. I’d sold 16 Callaway Speedsoft so needed to...

Walking up Gallions path

Image
 Golf balls sold 360  It was a walk up Gallions path today, but I was to late as another golf ball picker had beaten me to it. It was a nice walk up to the top of the path and back. I did find 2 balls on the way back but they were only fit for a value bundle.  Tomorrow I’m going to get some rest after work and let my body recover as I’ve been pushing hard.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Gym day chest

Image
 It’s back to the gym today, despite being tired I pushed through. It was cross trainer to kick off and intervals on level 13. 1.49km and 379 calories it was good.  The gym was busy today so it required a bit of skill to navigate and get an effective workout in.  Starting with machine chest press, 20kg building up to 33kg nice and slow to getting things going.  On to incline press and only adding 10kg but good form and descending sets with 12 reps down to 8 and failure. Mainly because I was too lazy to hunt for different plates 😉.  Flys next on the machine and starting light at 35kg and building up to 50kg.  Wide machine press next and starting with 26kg going up to 35kg  Cable flys to finish and nice and light starting with 14kg a side going up to 18kg a side.  It was a nice work out and something to build on.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Afternoon walk !

Image
  It’s out for a walk this afternoon, I wanted to make the most of the sunshine and try to gather more stock for the golf ball business. It was good going today finding 16 balls and I was able to find my twelfth Taylormade tour response so I can finally list a dozen.  I’ve also received my first negative feedback on eBay turns out I posted 24 hiviz ballls via Royal Mail and they only delivered 10. The customer only payed £1.50 for them so I’m not too broken up. It’s been a good day and my burnt arms are settling down with some after sun applied. Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

The Making Of The Modern Middle East A Person History, Jeremy Bowen

Image
  Arguably since the Second World War the Middle East has been a constant flash point from the birth of Isreal in 1948  right up to today there’s been constant conflict and political instability.  Jeremy Bowen was the chief Middle East correspondent for the BBC from the late 80’s. Living in Israel when getting a bus could mean losing your life. The end of the Iran Iraq war, the first Gulf war and through the start and ultimately aborted peace process between Palestine and Israel. Of course Jeremy has covered the Arab spring and the decline of Syria. That seems like a lot! I’ve missed more out I’m sure ! Jeremy takes you back to all those moments that shook the world and tells you what it was like to be there. When the Israeli leader is assassinated and he breaks the death to the world or what it was like to be a young reporter and reporting that NATO had made a mistake and killed hundreds of civilians in an Iraqi bomb shelter and receiving the backlash from it. It’s a fas...
