my mistress

my mistress

It’s been a long love afair since my dad first introduced us about 12 years ago in Gloucester.

She’s beautiful, we’ve been to many places together and after she got a bit injured on friday, whilst out for a ride, I realised I hadn’t given her the attention she deserved recently.

So today I treated her to a full clean and some new tyres… isn’t she pretty:

training

Wooooooooo! The training is back on track, I missed a session due to the 4 day weekend but once I’ve gone for todays bike club session, I’ll be back on track. I’ve stepped up another notch now too… ooohh… I think this ones gonna hurt, sit ups with weights? what sadistic swine invented that one??

Anyway… look out ladies, I’m gonna be ultra-hot by the summer… charm, intelligence, wit, looks, style (well maybe not style) and fit… it’s going to be hard to resist me. ;-)

In all seriousness, it’s great how lots of things are coming together nicely right now, the fitness n diet is giving me more energy, the cashflows in the right direction, the flats looking MUCH better (really must post some pics on here) and…

drum roll please…

I will complete the Master Practitioner in NLP next week!! I’m off up north (well shropshire) for my grans funeral mon-wed and then I’m signed up to do the final part of my NLP on Thu + Fri.

Bring it!

PS I’m dis-owning you all as friends, except for Nick and James who’ve already sponsored me! Adam + Adam, you both owe £20 to the fund don’t forget >>>>>>>

1.go to www.google.com
2.click on maps
3.click on get directions
4.go from “new york” to “paris, france”

HSBC Canford Cliffs

I am disgusted to read the story about HSBC stopping face to face service for anyone other than their premier customers at the HSBC Canford Cliffs branch, if they wish to choose which of their customers they look after in this way then they should start a new bank altogether.

Yes, I understand they’re a business and bla bla bla… but they’re also a service. I was going in today to set up a savings account, but I’m considering moving my money elsewhere now.

A day in London

A day in London

Apologies for not posting for a while, I’ve had a rather busy weekend. (5 sets in 4 days = 19hrs of Djing)

Last wednesday I went to London on a bit of a day trip, I started the day with a visit to Tate Modern with the hope I could get a go on one of the giant slides that had been installed in the turbine hall by Carsten Höller

The slides are free but you have to get a timed ticket by queueing at 930 or 2, I rocked up at 2 to find a fairly large queue, when I got to the front I was expecting a timed slot later in the afternoon like 4 or something… only to be told everyone wanted pairs and as I was on my own they had 1 ticket left for the 2-230 slot… wooooOOO!

…barely able to contain the huge grin that spread across my face… I trundled of, all the way up the 6 floors and then weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee… whoosh I was back at the bottom.

Wow. Imagine the biggest bestest slide you’ve ever been on in your life, then multiply it by 10! If this is the future of urban travel (which is what Carsten is suggesting with this installation) then yeah baby, roll on the future!

Then off I went to do a few things around London, went for a bit of a walk and then met Chris for a tour and “meeting” at Ministry of Sound HQ.

I persuaded Chris to come n join me at Victoria for the start of the Flashmob… he looked a bit confused at first, then seemed to find it amazing when it all kicked off (see the vid below). Once the flashmob was over, I had some food and headed for my coach back. All in all a good day to re-charge my brain, see and interact with art and do another thing on my life to-do list.

Return bus ticket to London, £12

Giant slide ride @ tate modern, £5 donation

Dancing with 4000 people in a railway station for no real reason, priceless.

Winner!
