Christian Ainley my day to day

  It's my first rest day and I had a nice lay in, well only to 730. I woke up and got stuck into some more course work. I've submitted the first unit of lean organization management techniques so starting the second unit and it starts with Kaizen and continuous improvement.  I completed the first two essays and headed out for a walk. The weather was forecast to be chilly with showers so I put the rain cost on and headed out. It was to Windsor the long walk and lunch in Coté Brasserie today. It was nice but the server forgot I was there.  I've placed some golf balls on eBay and made a sale of some Speedsoft by Taylormade, they are the colourful inked version so I'll be posting them tomorrow. I've also sold some TP5’s at worked so it's a good start.  Have fun stay safe 👍

  In 1970 Paul McCartney was 27 years old and had been a member of the world’s biggest pop group since his late teens, it’s all he’s ever known and it all ends ! The Beatles are to go their own separate ways.  There are a range of options open to him, he’s made enough that he can happily retire and live a comfortable life and for a while he escaped London and the constant routine of legal meetings to wind up The Beatles and decompresses on his Scottish farm with his young family. Briefly indulging in to much whiskey Paul needs an outlet for his creativity and forms a new band Wings.  This documentary takes you inside the process of going from The Beatles to Wings, the struggles and the choices made along the journey and the music that came from it. It’s an interesting documentary that’s will resonate with Beatles fans and anyone who’s had to transition from one life style to another and the period of adjustment. McCartney is open and discusses the highs and lows with equa...

  It’s hard to convey what it was like living in the late 80’s when the Cold War was at its hight. The rhetoric from both sides and being told the end of the world is only four minutes away. Both sides staring each other down in Berlin and each performing exercises that put the other on alert.  Dale Brown the author certainly knew about it, being enlisted on a front line F-111 squadron he was at the tip of the spear trained to to penetrate soviet defensive systems and obliterate the toughest targets deep in the Soviet Union. He brings all that knowledge to the page, this is an early book so it’s not polished but the aerial sequences are really well written and put you inside that aircraft with the fears and tensions of the crew and the manoeuvres of the aerial ballet making you clench as the unfold.  The story is good a little bit embellished but that’s the whole point of the book and the imagination of the author. Patrick Mclanahan who would go on to have a 18 book seque...

  The weather is nice and warm and I didn't feel like being cooped up in the gym so I headed out for another walk. Only me, an audio book smd the warmth, it felt so good afternoon that cold winter.  Only 7 miles today and 2 golf balls there was another collected there so I missed out. It's now a nice chilled evening. Have fun stay safe 👍

 The weather was really warm today so I headed out for a walk at lunch time. It was around the estate to start to collect my WeWards for the day and then up gsllions path, I decided to continue on up to BlackPark and do a lap of the lake.  Blackpark was absolutely jam packed with familys enjoying the sunshine. There was a very large radio controlled yacht but it was being packed up when I got round to that side of the lake and I didn't want to annoy the owner by taking a picture.  It was only six golf balls today but that's not bad. It was so nice to get out in the warm and enjoy the sunshine, I think I even picked up a bit of a tan too!  Have fun stay safe 👍

  For those of us old enough to remember in the mid 90’s a medical drama came to our screens called ER, it was written by Jurassic Park writer Michael Crichton and followed the drama of an inner city ER in Chicago. It was gritty, dynamic and bloody, ER took on the difficult topics such as H.I.V and A.I.D.S and bought the reality of those conditions to our screens. Noah Wyle was at the centre of the series playing a student doctor who progresses year on year through the hospital. For its time it was a good watch and every episode bought drama, romance and heartbreak. Ok I'm a fan and I've watched all 331 twice.  The Pitt tries to follow that line with a bit of 24 thrown in as you watch each hour as it develops in the hospital in sequence. I've watched the first few an I think it's ok, it's not as good as ER because that was always intense to watch but it's good to see the characters as the develop over a shift. If you like medical programs and you were a fan of E...
