Here he was on weekend being a little legend!


Weekend

No posts over the weekend mainly due to Amanda being away and me being in charge ofDaddy  Day Care all weekend. The wee man was excellent, so really enjoyed it and had such a blast with him!

Old Friend

Had a great meet up with Carlos Buzo today, an old colleague in Lloyd’s Banking Group. Always great to keep up with those about you who you get on well with! The big man was looking really good too!

Success

Big meeting at work went well today, ever so slowly getting there with respect of finishing up for Christmas and the New Year!

Enjoying my Volunteering Day

Very worthy cause offering my help at ‘Crisis at Christmas!’

Positive Mentality Today

Trying to be more positive today, especially after the amount of sleep I needed yesterday, falling asleep almost at lunch then also again at 9pm, albeit then it was for good!

Need to keep positive to feel better!

Labyrinthitis

Getting royally pissed off with this dizziness and confusion now! This really really needs fixing!

Back to Freezing


It's really warming up!

Cold

Woke up at 6.30 and it was minus four, now it’s 10.15am and it’s warmed to -1.2!

Ashes shambles

Same old story in Second Ashes Test...chasing 420 odd, England collapse and are 180-7...absolutely shambles and an embarrassment. This is a very poor Australia team!

Supermoon


A bit tricky getting the photo of the last supermoon of the year. I haven't even had my Christmas Party as an excuse!!!

Happy With This Today


Check out my run on Strava.

What a busy Sunday

Well that was a busy old day! Started with the little guy waking up at 5.30am and having decided he wanted in bed with Mummy and Daddy, didn’t sleep so it was downstairs at 6.30!

Lots of love fun care attention and breakfast and it was off swimming by 10! Fun at swimming, still a bit skittish when deep and not clinging onto neck but still likes the water. He was a wee mischief afterwards but a lollipop helped out a bit. Massive delays getting him with traffic jams so took an hour and that meant my trip to Richmond Park was a bit later than hoped!
Still I got a cracking 10kmin (see next post!) and really happy with time and effort!

Back home and it was Christmas Central, managed to put the tree up and have a family dinner! Shattered though, I’m a celebrity in bed tonight!

Working From Home Success!

Been a pretty successful working from home day today. Dialled into the calls at work ok, cracked in with work and just got stuff done!

Managed to get Kilt Hire sorted and head to dry cleaners perfectly well in lunch break too!

Even better news, Angus got a very good write up at hospital following operation on his retractile testes!

Wednesday, November 29, 2017

And for my next trick

It’s time for bed, labels are now something I can add which is quite exciting...#exciting

Excellent Leg Turnover

A good 3km let turnover this evening, certainlynot quick  at 5min/km, but after 10km on Saturday and 4km of hills last night feel pretty good about things.

Furthermore it has made me feel happier too after a bit of a grumpy and boring afternoon!

Something to look forward to

Post Katy's wedding we're hitting this up!

 

#skatebackintime #hamptoncourt

Chaos on the trains too

So it could be an eventful journey home thanks to the good guys at #southwesternrailways

Waterloo and City

Every now and then it's just the most frustrating and stupid line there is! Never know what platform to stand on at Bank, just gets so busy so quickly, it is infuriating!

Sore head

Must remember to check out with the wife why my head is feeling strange at the back / too...especially as the dizziness hasn't disappeared!

But winter is here

It's Baltic today!!!

Slow day

Very much looking forward to going home tonight!
Play with the boy, maybe a quick run and then probably a bit of I'm a celebrity! Nice day working from home tomorrow too, focus for rest of week on write up, a process that has been nothing short of glacial so far as motivation has not been the highest!

Ho hum! Christmas is coming!!!

My world tonight!


Awesome!

Dancer

Fucking Waterloo and City line is up the spout tonight, so it's a long, hard slog home now!

And thanks South Western Railways

I'm still cold now, 5 hours later!!!

Not the greatest start to the day

It's 1 degrees Celsius, feeling like -1c according to weather app, and the heater on the train isn't working! Chilly!

Strike Day 2

Still very busy in the train today, really not a fan of the RMT and what appears to be a pointless strike!

Wednesday, November 08, 2017

Strikes

Really enjoyed my commute this morning thanks to the good people at the RMT and their strike! Delighted to have half the world apparently sat on top of me, as randomly I did get a seat!

News...apparently

Twitter has expanded to 280 characters from the original 140 character limit. Is this the first step in the decline of miniaturisation of everything?

Maybe test cricket has a future after all! 🏏

Upgraded Office

Well I would say 'Upgraded' as it's a fucking pain in the arse to navigate now!

Wednesday, November 01, 2017

Defective train

Ahead of us in the Waterloo and City line...terrific!

Monday, October 30, 2017

Touching

Why can't people work out where they end? Hate the number of people during my commute banging and bathing into me! Grr, so annoying man!

Dizziness

Slightly lower than it has been recently! Let's hope it keeps heading that way (less and less and less dizziness!

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

Very Early start

It's 6.52am and I'm almost at London Waterloo!

It is very very dark! 😢🌃

Monday, October 23, 2017

Dizziness

Please please please go away!!!

Holidays

Are the absolute best! Love sitting here sweating cobs in the Mediterranean Sunshine!

Monday, September 18, 2017

No email

It's not working today!

Tuesday, September 05, 2017

Of course

The train company had to prove me wrong didn't it!

Bet this train doesn't leave on time!

Annoying day

Just frustration at every turn! Ahhhhh!

One from earlier at glacier...sack it have two!


Norway though hey...

Fucking hell it's nice looking!

Decent wake up!

Formal Night


Formal night in the ship last night so it was best clothes and behaviour for everyone!

White cliffs of Dover


Shouldn't really be seeing these on Sunday morning!

This was also formal night!


Wee monkey!

Day 1 (2 really), an eventful day at sea

So we settled into the crown princess well yesterday (Saturday), however overnight we were taken aback by a medical emergency which left us breakfasting under the White Cliffs of Dover having offloaded stricken customer at Port of Dover!

It's been a relaxing if boring day otherwise and we're subdued by the lack of swimming pool and facilities for Angus and the lack now of a stop in Stavanger, given the rather hectic schedule does not allow for the detour back to Dover!
Overall been quite relaxing and getting some sleep, but a bit of a disappointment so far!

Commuting amusements

It's funny that travelling into London day after day at the same time means you start seeing the same people everyday! Plus more amusingly, you also notice their idiosyncrasies!

Monday, June 26, 2017

Wish you could get data roaming at Waterloo

So frigging annoying you can't!

Still...

It is time to go home! Whoop whoop!

Sore Monday

Not particularly that it's a Monday, but another 13 km run yesterday (albeit last 1.5km walked) and calf muscles are tighter than anything today!

Lounge Time

Stupid delayed flight!!! #hurumph

Not too long left...

...until I head off to the airport before heading home!

Thunder and rain when arrived...

Ditto upon departure!

Monday, May 29, 2017

Sick to back teeth

Of this audit...and my dizziness!

Check that...

Feel horrendous walking just then!

This was my favourite moment I'd say!


Dizziness

Still here, but feels slightly better today...hmm let's see how long that lasts!

Was quiet over weekend

Sorry

Friday, May 26, 2017

Good grief

Absolutely belting down with rain again!

Changi Business Park

New location for auditing today! CBP out by the airport, nice change of scenery, but certainly not as nice as MBFC!

Raining, raining like I've never seen before

It's phenomenal how much is coming down!

No one else seems that interested though!

How boring if them!

For goodness sake

It's STILL raining!

Raining again!

Good grief!

I don't get it

Such great views from the office in Singapore yet there is a continued effort to keep all the blinds shut, properly keeping the outside, outside!
I'd be inspired by the views if I'm honest, but seems like it's all different to different people!

Fuck Off

Why would anyone bomb a concert venue where teenagers are going to watch a favourite artist? In what world is that really going to achieve anything! Very sad today and it feels worse when you're a long way away from family and other loved ones!

New Shirts

Today, and I think I chose well on the light blue strips in white shirt!

Monday, May 22, 2017

Damn it

The Bar in the Raffles is still shut...until mid 2018!
May be a while before I get to experience that authentic experience then! I think I might mean 'authentic!'

Check out my run - Hot and Humid as anything!


Check out my run on Strava.
https://www.strava.com/activities/1000154756

Holy Humidity

It's so much more humid this time than I remember, mind I may have gotten over my jet lag better before running last time! As you'll see in a minute I hit the trail good and hard already!

Hopefully no 3am wake up tomorrow!

Motivation...

Starts high, but diminishes during the day...never seen goalposts move as much in my life as they do right now!

Need to get head down and get work done then enjoy June and holiday in July!

Weather different to last time too

Been raining almost constantly since I arrived and even lightning flashing about this morning!

Jet lag

Is an absolute bastard by the way! Going to be a looong day at work, then need to try and stay awake as long as I can this evening!

Sunday, May 21, 2017

Made it to accomodation

Now have to wait in another long line for checkin! Jeez, busy today!

Interesting

Every time you are really desperate for the toilet on an aeroplane is always when turbulence hits!

Saturday, May 20, 2017

BA today

So we'll see how bad this is compared to others!

Another trip...

SINGAPORE volume 3!


Expect more updates as per usual!

Thursday, May 18, 2017

Thursday Afternoon

A wee bit bored and today a struggle so looking forward to heading home tonight!

Last commuting day

In over two weeks! Whoop!

Wednesday, May 10, 2017

Summer on its way?

Beautiful sunshine now at lunch in Spittalfields.

If only there was a warmer morning going on, coat could be discarded for summer!

Cousin Loving!






Back to the real world

Work today...Meh!

On top of the world...


Or at least Carn Aosda! Such a good weekend with family in Scotland to help Dad Compleate the full 282 Munro's!

Jeez Louise

I really am in a downer at the minute!

Birthday Girl (one day late!)

...and she got to open cards with this guy...

Having a struggle-filled week

Not feeling motivated or that energised...need to go for a run, but really not sure that I'm going to get an opportunity to do that this week given workload and life load!

Monday, April 10, 2017

Back to work in London

And it feels so good!!!

Although also worryingly strange!

ING Art


Celebration of 50 years of ING in Germany, this guy lives outside!

I didn't see the wee guy I met at the ACAMS conference in London last May though!

Monday, April 03, 2017

My oh my

Late leaving this morning as very, very busy at Heathrow!

Fog

Never actually seen Fog arrive as it gets light...how very strange!

Another early start

But last week out on travel duties...at least until late May!

Homeward Bound

Just heading out over the Channel! Come on the UK!

Little upset

That the blogger website doesn't manage to timestamp when these posts were written, as opposed to when they have been loaded via wifi!

At Frankfurt Airport

Time to head home! 😃

Wednesday, March 29, 2017

Missing this guy!


😢

Missing this lady!


😘

Had a dreamy sleep last night

Slept very well and quite long! Forgot to set the alarm this morning too, so woke up at 7.45 and had to rush a touch to get into the office at a reasonable time!

Weather set fair

Another beautiful sunny morning in Germany

And I feel pretty refreshed after a good night sleep! Enjoyed 'The Big Short' on Netflix last night and generally pretty happy with life!

Monday, March 27, 2017

Welcome to Frankfurt


A global airport by the looks of the number of differing tail fins!

Proper old B767

BA have put on for me too!

Another Away Day

Frankfurt for two loads of one week. Never been so should be interesting, however have to be honest, wish it wasn't so close to my last business trip!

My goodness though

I am seriously tired!

Hopefully easy to get to the office and can get my head down in the work to keep me awake!

Thursday, March 16, 2017

The last leg

Of a long tiring, but relatively good week away!

Can't wait to see wife and little guy though!

Of course

Three on time or early flights so far...and it's the last one that's delayed!!! 😢

Loving the MRT

Smooth, easy, cheap, quick and clean!

Wednesday, March 15, 2017

The Executive Centre

No idea what this company is on Level 11, but there's always someone using the lift!
#stoppingservice

So tired!

Been sleeping terribly...at least it means I may sleep on flight tomorrow! That will help with jet lag hopefully!

Monday, March 13, 2017

Luging on Sentosa Island



Good fun

Terrible sleep

Last night, maybe a couple of beers, who knows!

Really struggling today though with tiredness! Yawn!

Sunday, March 12, 2017

Had to search long and hard for it...


But old Firm match and dinner to boot in Singapore!

Another fine day of steps!!


Pleased I found it...

Too!

A good game, very low on quality but good drama...old form hey, really easy to hate them, but that's a quality Scottish football product, even with its sectarianism stench!
