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!

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!
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!!!

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!

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!
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!
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!!!

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!

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! 🏏

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!

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!

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!

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!'

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!

Beautiful sunshine now at lunch in Spittalfields.

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!

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!

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!
