2025 in review!

 

Looking back on 2025 and my commitment to myself, firstly it was to maintain the achievements of the previous year, that being no nicotine which was maintained and I didn't regress. My other commitment was to getting fitter. Which I've tried to adhere to. I've visited the gym often and been on loads of walls and some cycling at the start of the year. I probably should look at my diet and try to reduce weight which is my weakness. I've got a good resting heart rate, good blood pressure but I'm a bit on the chunky side. 

Self improvement, this was one of my main aims of this year and I think I've come a long way, I the first half of the year I earned my SIA Door supervisor license and the associated courses that go with it, First Aid at Work, Actions Counters Terrorism Awareness and Security as well as the five day course that’s mandatory. In the second half of the year I signed up for and completed my level 2 Customer service course over three months and I'm just waiting for moderation and my certificate! I've signed up for Principles of Team Leading Level 2 so hopefully I get accepted and can start it in January. 

Another change for 2025 was the start of an Ebay business selling used golf balls over the summer, I didn't see that one coming! It's been rather productive over the last six months with over 700 golf balls sold and dispatched. Right now it's a matter of building stock for the spring when there will be greater demand. 

Lots covered and in all its been a good year and a foundation to build on. 

Have fun stay safe 👍

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Windsor farm shop, local gangster and afternoon walk

Image
  Windsor farm shop It was a lunch time visit to Windsor farm shop to get some treats before the weekly food shop. The car park was extremely busy as there’s a fish monger who’s there on Pop up fish monger   Windsor farm shop Thursdays between 11-2. He must have some good stock for sale at a good price because there was a very long queue st his pop up stall.  Wexham Gangster  What did we get from the far shop, well I picked up a beef and Stilton small pie and an old Windsor pasty for tomorrow after work and we also bought a chicken smd mushroom pie . I have to say the beef and Stilton pie was extremely rich so be warned. The chicken and mushroom pie was very nice and I’d highly recommend.  Passion flower     After lunch had settled it was out for a walk I picked up the WeWard cards I was missing and along the way bumped into Wexham’s new gangster a cute cat who’s taken residence on Mirridor Crescent . It was a walk up Rowley footpath and 21 golf...
