The anniversary of 9/11.
Getting the call while driving home.
The real fear, running a US Company in the ME & worrying what came next.
Hearing the story of Shawn who worked at our HQ who was flying his GF to Hawaii to propose & who left a voicemail on the way down.
And the AMAZING response by our team, our partners & HR especially in Ireland who, in the days that followed got Visas for my team AND their families to evacuate to Galway just in case.
Remembering lighting a Candle for Shawn & crying then rejoicing for someone I never met.
The Little Pleasure?
Knowing we made a difference & people cared for us. Something an MBA todat would never understand
Fuck off
I was working for Aon back in the day. People I know, worked with and met died. I watched the fucking towers collapse live just like you did. Fuck, I’d regularly been to meet them/clients as people.
Apologies for that but your touchy-freely comments have stirred up something I’d buried @Polski_Filip - but I am coming from it from my perspective.
Sorry.

On my (long forgotten) tours into the countryside, I explain the dilemma of coal & fossil fuel use in rural Poland & further east.
We know it is bad but the cost to convert to Gas is on average 6 months salary.
Polish politics seems incomprehensible to many, but PiS do invest funds & Grant’s to rural areas, and cover some of the cost of conversion - about 25%.
So, this week, the family have scraped enough savings & loans together to convert. The maths was quite easy, grant + cost saving of buying Wood/Coal is returned after 3 years.
The point?
Farewell to this museum piece!
No more trudging to the wood shed in the snow!

My wife left me this morning.
Caught an 05:50 bus.
Just got the call to go collect her as she was struggling to carry these beauties home.

I took this picture yesterday morning. Not sure if they’re edible but sure the regular dogs have pissed over all of them.

Very tricky. I have pre-primary school knowledge so would never pick these as most dangerous ones have ridges.
But these are edible. I pick only those with like a sponge under layer.
BUT shrooms can vary by region, so edible here killed 200 people in Germany…

Never had a mushroom bigger than my steak before!
The “girls” headed to the mountains this morning at 5am
At 09:30 got a photo of the boot of their car - totally full & they were heading back out to fill the back seat & parcel shelf.
At $100 a kg for some varieties this is desperately needed right now at least a couple of weeks shopping covered!
Pics later

Stunning sunny day crystal clear air perfect for the Zakopane Mountains tour.
With 4 Brits. OMG 1st ones I’ve talked to since lockdown.

Kevin owns Kasbah in Old Christchurch Road, just returned as a sports bar (Chelsea)
His mate Monty - Saints fan & I think Chris the Bompey fan.
Great day talked shit & politics & tour stuff.
They loved it & Covid permitting will be back for a week in December Kevin’s Tours apparently

Say hi to Kevin next time!
Flying back to Bompey Tuesday!
You may recall tales of Mrs P_F & BFF heading out when the villages put stuff out for scrap.
Obviously not preferred plan but Covid the economy & crooks.
The kitchen here has been a nightmare being short of units & we needed an island in the centre - again had to make do.
Anyway, the Gasman told Mrs P_F to come round to his place (what to do?) As his Mum was chucking an old kitchen out & maybe the units would help as a temporary solution.
What are the odds that
- The units are in good nick
- They are the identical design & colour of the shitty ones we already have?
Seems Gasman has satisfied all the ladies of the house. Mum finally has her complete kitchen & can move stuff out of sister in law’s upstairs. We can get our kitchen stuff outta storage.
Next up anyone chucking out a working gas cooker?
