Oi.
I can wear stilts if so minded (I am not).
Can you solve your āproblemsā so easily? 
All of them?
In one go?
More chance of you being 6ā3" next time we meetš
So. Yesterday we took āMumā to the local Convent.
Every year towards the end of Lent they provide a foodbank for the local retired villagers.
Last year it was all a bit gesture led. Tins of Mackerel Fillets in oil & TUC crackers.
This year? Noticeably different. The āGoodie bagā was a panic buyers dream. Cheeses, tinned meats/hams, bags of Pasta & Rice, Jams and Preserves. (And of course the Mackerel Fillets)
Basically enough mix of Carbs & Protein to keep old folf running for 2 weeks.
Considering many have no transport they are delivering the parcels, and for many it could be a lifeline as it isnāt easy to carry that much from a shop when you are in your 70ās even IF the stuff was still on the shelves.
Good work in these troubled times.
(the Cats are just gonna have to learn to like Mackerel Fillets)

Finally getting Mr Tigger to agree it would be good to get another dog to go back to being a 4 dog household. Result.

Now that the University has officially locked down I am WFH.
The cat has just jumped on my lap asking for some attention whilst I am trying to work, amazing how comforting that actually isā¦

Practicing my social distancing from this little beauty whilst walking the dog this morning. No danger unless you climb into the middle of this gorse bush. A Black Adder.

Riding a bike. Again.
Having poppadom shoulders is a problem. Iāve damaged my rotator cuffs 3 times now (twice on the right, once on the left - football, cycling and a headbutt).
Last time was in early November and so Iād been off the bike for over 4 months. Each time I tried to do my rehab exercises it would breakdown again. Itās been really frustrating and Iāve put weight on which is difficult to shift if you canāt exercise.
Did a short 8km loop to Tescos and all was good. Itās a really simple thing - riding a bike and easy to take for granted, until you canāt do it.
Feels great.
Trying to find new places to walk to. Discovered a little bit of Epping Forest is more accessible than I realised.
Followed by beer

OKā¦ so as many of you know I have had a pretty shitty last yearā¦ well when I say I, I mean first my daughter having a nasty liver problem that lasted from July through to November and gave us some serious concerns, the Mrs MoT finding the dreaded āLumpā over Christmas and then having worst confirmed back in Janā¦ so needlesss to say my head has not been totally focused on work as first priorityā¦ as such I have at times not done my best work, but have still delivered in generalā¦ anyway enough back story but last week, after saying āyesā to rescue someone else shite proposal that needed to go out, I lost two days on my own latest $480k proposal that was due with client Friday pmā¦ it was not my best work, but it was not utterly shit either, but I took a different approach to ensue it was completed and got it in by the deadlineā¦ but Boss was not pleased, gets me on phone and makes me feel like shit all weekendā¦
ā¦ today client procurement sent emailā¦
Dear MoT
Thank you for your proposal and budget breakdown. We both thought the content was excellent. We are curious if you could let us know if it would be possible to explore a small discount should we award you the business as we see further opportunities for extension to the current selected indications for the asset?
It would be great to catch up tomorrow and discuss terms as we are keen to award and contract this weekā¦
ā¦ the pleasure was in simply forwarding to boss with request to discuss āeconomies of scaleā at 0930 tomorrowā¦
Its not a big thing, but after the shit he gave it was nice to just send a simple messageā¦
