Another month another trip. This time I flew to Dubai to meet with a large customer and then hopped across to Jordan. Wow. Amman is such a beautiful city. Steeped in history and an equal amount of energy. After customer and partner meetings we had a night out. Slow cooked lamb with rice, fried almonds, and yogurt cream… absolute classic.
Surprise surprise the Ruskis have hacked SpookyDaffodils. Not sure what they were expecting to get from it but I guess they live in such a shithoe the only joy in their life is trying to disrupt others. Sad really but hey they still live in a shithole so that’s penance enough.
Anyway we are back up now.
Not sure what’s happened but for the past months the site has been down. Logged into my control panel and found that all of the site has been deleted. Need to contact support to see what caused the issue. Hopefully not a hack.
In today’s walk Benson retrieved:
An oak lead
A number of seeds in varying state of decay
Multiple twigs and brambles
An uncoiled spring (my personal highlight)
And a cubic meter of sand/mud
Good gawd it’s hot here. Left the UK and it was 3degrees, land into Dubai and it’s already 23degrees at 9am. I’m not complaining though. 🥵
There’s no place for them IMHO. Of course I’m not talking about a toddler running a global conglomerate… more babies in business class. I really don’t understand why people want to book a human scream bomb into the one section of the plane where people pay a lot of money so they can get some sleep. Atop of that they fell it’s totally appropriate to walk the screaming baby around the cabin in an attempt to calm it down. Day flights I can just about get with but business babies on night flights is a hard no from me.
I’m off to Frankfurt tomorrow for a customer summit. The German sales manager asked me to present on a topic I’ve not presented before so I’ve been working on a talk track for the slides. I’m not going to lie, it’s been a tough nut to crack. Spent all last week writing stuff down and trying to stitch it into something presentable with no success. Had a lightbulb moment on Sunday. My boss gave me some feedback a few years ago. It’s all about the story. If you know what story you want to tell you can present on anything as long as you stick to the story. Very wise words. Stress levels reduced and ready to go.
Got back to the Yoga this morning and boy was it hard. For a start the garage (gym 😜) was like a freezer. I’m in long legged Lycra , hoodie and wolly hat. To be fair it doesn’t look that bad 🤣
Anyway the session built up to pigeon pose and boy did I fail miserably at that one. Couldn’t even attempt to wrap elbow behind knee. I’m blaming the cold for freezing my muscles. It’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
