Gym

Healthcare

I liked the prose . Earlier I was presenting to and conducting meeting with mob who are building 40 acre hitech hospital in wales. Some medics, developers , acedemics . Apparently this could  redefine how healthcare is delivered everywhere . The reason it's starting in wales is that the compactness of the place means that this kind of thing is easier to do. Everyone knows each other and they Cooperates . The welsh do the learning and if it works it gets rolled out else where.  The English are too bunged up to do it apparently . Honestly I think it was the most interesting work meeting I have ever been in , in the 34 years I've been in thus game.

I'm not a terribly confident presenter at times , especially when trying to the this is us , we are great  etc. It can be dry to deliver and dull to hear. The first guy up who is a senior plc bloke was shit .  Borderline embarrassing . He did the wider Siemens in the uk and looked like he'd never done it before , let alone seen the slides he was talking about . I did  a session on what we do and had an engaged audience and really  smashed it.  Really good fun.

Then Sandrine called me , I missed the call and called her back. I got an earful for not listening to her message. She's not my fucking secretary apparently.

Run

More flirtatious stuff with bid manager  earlier . 

Fire outcome heartbreaking 

London has taken a bit of a kicking in the last couple of weeks. 

Anton Ferdinand in gym earlier . He's not a premiership bloke anymore , Southend fc . He  was there with a trainer ( who I know a little , a bit thick)

While I was there me and the manager , Polish kris , were admiring the new boiler that is going to be fitted there in next couple of days. 17k worth.  Proper bit of kit . Thing is young member , female, mid 20s , dancers body overheard and assumed we were talking about her. You couldn't make it up. 

My friend John from around the corner is a fucking mess. Keeps falling over ( mid 50s) . Im taking him to docs tomorrow .  Might even end up giving his flat the once over for  an hour or so with a mate over the weekend. She is  resisting the idea . It's too 'personal' apparently . I said  there is an intimacy to helping people

Gym

Post

Feeling a malaise this week. 

Some low level crap at work, friends deserting , death and terrorism. They've put some barriers on London bridges now. Sandrine being hormonal . You can tell  by the reactions . My mate Steve from the gym who's mrs has just had a baby was telling me that if he had the chance to relive his life he'd stay single . I pointed out that she probably felt the same .   Did some good work at work earlier and the Kettlebell in the gym . 

My mate around the corner broke his arm falling out of bed. He is a fucking mess. I took him to hospital. I'm his  local carer helper friend plus Irish Phi who also helps. 

Listening to country music

Film

I was watching a film last night . About a space ship full of sedated humans heading to populate a planet a long way away. The idea is that they sleep for 100 years  or so . Anyway one bloke gets woken up 60 years too early . He is completely alone apart from the robot barman in the bar. Booze is  limitless and free, so is food. He gets lonely and ends up waking up the brightest and best looking chic . At this point I turned it off fearing over 60mins of her telling what a selfish piece of shit he is . Probably with her  fucking him every so often 

Gym

Again

Another crazy week.  M.t.w. Denmark, Thursday I can't remember , Friday met with development property business  of the Q royal family. They are called QD . They are fucking rich. Their office is in grosvenor street . It is fucking lush. The receptionist was miss world...it was all laid out from there. They seem to be interested in siemens . They  have bought the old us embassy and are turning it into a 50 star hotel . Then got home and had tense meeting with the computer says no department and its leaders . I gottive  quite shirty .

Evening too busy for training

Gym

Feeling flat tbh

Blog

Sounds good . It was marathon weekend here just gone. Lots of publicity about mood enhancing qualities of exercise , running in particular . It keeps me sane. Fuck even Sandrine does it. Obviously not enough  as arse still large 

Kids have been here last few days , that always cleans up my act. As did three meetings , one difficult by lunchtime today.  So early night.earlier  Leaving last meeting get a call from  sales team  admin and we have a call   Urgent within 20 mins. The wonder of modern comms .usually it means  current boss is leaving or similar announcement .  But much worse news today.  The guy three to the right of me in the team photo I sent you has had a heart attack , massive, and in a coma. We worked quite closely at times during the  last five or six years or so and I'd consider him a friend . We  also won the sales event together. Has daughter about the same age as mine. So thoughts with JP. The tone of the call the call was to expect worst. Hoping for different . 

Thing is all of us would have expected it to be head of sales leaving, and the more competitive amongst us of would have spent the 20 mins notice wondering how we could  get ourselves  in the gap, including me.

JP

stuck with it dude

Some discussion with joe from kac

Run

Intervals hot hard

Gym

hadn't been in there all week, well since Sunday anyway. Felt really relaxed and easy. More Kettlebell . .

Day off yesterday , run today

ok as it goes

Blog

Work very busy. As usual. In frimley hq  all this week . Kids here as all  her mums french visitors now back in France . Eloise had another part of her french gcse yesterday . This was news to me as I thought she'd done it all. This was  some more writing in french that she'd memorised . Reason for mentioning it is that according to her mother rather than give eloise a quiet 'exam like' environment to do it, they sat her at the back of her Spanish class while the others watched a film. S is on the war path and probably left shouty messages for the head teacher etc.

 Also last year eloise  got accused of bullying another kid.  It was very low level . As usual s went off the deep end and I ended up smoothing it over with school and dealing with eloise. The family of the other girl had tried to get eloise excluded.  On Sunday I bumped into a friend of mine Henry (an  actor in currently very watched cop drama on Brit tv) who knew the family concerned and told me that they were all a right pain in the arse and some of his kids had recieved the same accusations. Anyway his mate , a fat bloke called nick (50s) is struggling .Wife left 2 1/2 years ago. The only person who was surprised when it happened was him apparently . He'd been sent to Borstal when he was a kid for a few weeks, after going of the rails. He'd never offended again but the experience haunts him in so much as I heard the whole story and I've only met him once or twice before. He went off the fruit machine and Henry the actor told me that nick could be difficult but he was his mate and that was how it was . I admired the loyalty. 

General election. Labour in disarray . One thing that social media gives is a public voice to those on the left of the  lp . Largely They come across as mad. More interested in internal wrangling between them and the 'blairites' than presenting anything electable to the country. They paint a picture of sitting in smokey committee rooms, arguing over party regulations and the like , with the curtains thick and pulled  over the windows.  Corbyn has less than 0% chance of being elected pm. He makes his predecessor ,who also had no chance, look  like jfk in comparison . 

 Probably will vote libdem as I suspect will millions

Day off

Rest

heavy day at work

Got o b s s g f o down for delivery tommorow

Some cores

Gender wars are over. We're fighting wealth distribution inequality , environmental issues , rise of the right , property prices.... all in it together. By fighting I mean , for me , moaning about it to you.

I expect my daughters to fight , compete etc as equals , and to get on with it , and almost not enter into that argument .  They have family history.. their mother and her sister both prime examples , and my mother who is still taking no prisoners. 

Maybe men and women always always made each other unhappy. My father used to explain the derision that he used to get from my mother as 'men are often not appreciated in their own country '. He didn't sound like he was surprised the way it turned out 

Western life ..it's like it was always.
