Christian Ainley my day to day

  This one was recommended to me from Audible and I have to say most of the time they come up with some good books, so I have it a go !  Now I have to say I’ve listened to a few books that have outlined some of the political issues that are associated with “The Troubles” and maybe a modern Northern Ireland is a different environment I couldn’t say but some things I think still hold dear. Could unknown person walk into a Unionist pub and ask questions about a local and be safe or not get at least a little warning !  But if you take it with a pinch of salt it’s a good detective thriller with a good story, there are some holes in the plot but I can forgive it that. If you’re looking for a detective series that’s not to complex and entertaining then give it a go.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Have fun stay safe! 

  Sunday was out in Windsor watching the Football in the pub on the corner. We also failed to escape from an escape room too.  So to make amends it’s was a long walk to sweat it out. It was a quick lap around the estate to pick up today’s WeWards and then it was up Gallions path to black park. I managed to collect 12 golf balls on the way and finish a book on Audible.  It was around Blackpark and then home, I didn’t find any balls on the way back even though the weather was good. It was 11 miles in all and 25000 steps. It was great to get out in the sunshine and get some fresh air.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

 Writern in the late 1960’s and based on the fictional the Flashman books are adventure books aimed at a mid teenage audience. There’s some mild violence and sex but nothing too offensive.  The character being borrowed from the bully in Tom Browns School Days, so in many respects it’s a sequel. What did happen to that bad egg at school? Well this author pens an adventure that takes him from being expelled from Rugby School to the Kabul uprising and Queen Victoria’s army being expelled from Afghanistan. Flashman is every bit the bully and cad as he travels, getting in to duels and of course encounters with women.  It’s a good adventure and for its time a well written book, does it hold up as well today ? There are some views and ideas which may be offensive to some but I’m sure were valid at the time.  It’s good and worth a read, maybe a summer read as it’s not to complex to read. Having been printed since the late 60’s there’s plenty of copies to be found in charity ...

  It’s my first rest day so it was out for a walk, first I collected my WeWards from around the estate then headed up Rowley path and around Blackpark. It was nice to see spring coming around.  The bumblebee pictured was so engrossed in the pollen from the daffodils I was able to get a good macro shot. As I went around I saw the small birds hoping through the hedges and shooting across the path.  I was able to find 6 golf balls so I guess there was some clear weather over the weekend for people to get out and play golf. It was a nice day out and it was refreshing to get some fresh air.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

It was an afternoon at the gym yesterday and I started of with the cross trainer on intervals level 14. It was good going and got the blood flowing. I got through 1.57km and 409 calories over 30 minutes. It was on to chest press on the Machine starting low at 20kg and working up to 33kg it felt good.  The gym was empty so I was able to do some cable flys on the main machine. It was 7.5kg a side going up to 12.5kg a side.  Inclined press next and just the bar to start with then adding 10kg.  Then it was the same but on decline. I did get a light head when I got up.  Wide press next and it was 26kg until failure.  It was a nice work out and it was home to watch the north London derby and an arsenal win.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  I’ve been working hard towards my team leader course and I’ve submitted units 5, 6 and 7 over the last week. I’ve got my feed back for 5 and 6 which I’ve passed.    I’ve got one more unit left to finish off before submitting it for marking then I’ll be finished.  I’ve really enjoyed the course, pushing to learn new skills and just having a project to work on. I’m going to apply for principles of lean management or business improvement next, it’s the same course with different names by different collages. It looks closer at kaizen concept and the theme of continually improving.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼
