Christian Ainley my day to day

  Great news about my current course, lean organisation management techniques ! I’ve passed the first unit so I’m a third of the way through the course ! Only two more to go, I have to say it’s a tough course with lots of essays and writing so be sure you have the time to dedicate to it if you’re taking it on ! If you are thinking about a course try the customer service level 2 first to get a taste of online course first !  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  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 👍🏼

  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...

  The weather being so nice and having a free afternoon I thought I should take a walk up Gallions path and see if I could find some more stock for my eBay business. I’ve started listening to a new book which I will report on soon.  Some poor soul had broken down in his car on Wexham park lane right on the narrowest point near the point where I cross over. He’d placed the No fly tipping sign a few meters behind his car and this was incurring lots of abuse from traffic that had to avoid it last minute. I should have come home that way to check on the situation but I wanted to pop into the local shop for some supplies.  It was a good hunt today with 11 balls and only one for the junk box ! With 9 hours of exercise over the last two days I’m going to unwind this evening before going back to work tomorrow.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

 It’s Slough Town’s final match of the season against the newly minted Dagenham and Redbridge FC and the weather was glorious with even a little bit of sunburn from the late April sun.  Walking to the match as it s only 15 minutes away from my home you get a sense that it’s close by when the smell of burgers and fried onions carry on the wind. I treated my self to a cider expensive at £5.40 but I guess thst how a small club makes its money. There was a small wait to be served but it moved quickly. A novelty for football fans is the ability to take the drink outside within sight of the pitch !  Being a lunch time kick off I also treated myself to a cheese burger and chips. The price £11.40 for a cheese burger with a small portion of chips the picture is what you get.  Now on to the football it’s self, for the first half I stood behind the away goal and that’s where most of the Slough fans gathered. It was a good vibe with drums and wheels bins being drummed and chants...

  After yesterdays long walk this morning I went to the gym, started off with rowing and 3800 metres in 30 mins is good going.  On to deadlifts nothing crazy just adding 20kg then 30kg. Rows next on the machine starting with 42.5kg going up to 55kg Narrow cable rows next and again 42kg up to 50kg Then later pull downs to finish starting with 50kg and dropping down to 42.5kg  Only four sets today as I was a little fatigued after 19 miles of hiking yesterday but I kept the motivation.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼
