Its been a tiring couple of weeks. One which saw two days of downtime spent building this site etc Which led me to not only, not get round to messaging my Sports Massage clients about yesterday (It was in the diary that Thurs 30th was Massage on Tyneside day. When its in the diary, it happend) but I almost cancelled it off altogether.
I had a word with my lazy self on wednesday and texted round a few, managing to get 3 booked in (would have been 5 but two had a last minute, unavoidable cancellation) I set off for Haltwhistle first though, armed with a pencil and a tape measure. My pals want a concrete pad set in to put a bike shed on. So, my former role as a builder came into play to assess it for later this month. Then it was on the road, first stop, 87 year old Reg. Yip. You heard me correct. My first client is 87 years young. Runs Park Run every single week. Goes to Pilates, a boot camp, walks and cycles when he can. And used to run half marathons in under 1 hour ten back in the day. What an inspiration he is.
Popped into my embroiderer (yes – I have an embroiderer. Doesn’t EVERYONE?? haha) with an order for more Micky Pizza tops and a heads up that I will have a brand new logo for them soon….
A jaunt up to Northumberland and back for my Mexican Zumba lady who is just full of energy and stiffness! Then back to where I’d just came from – to see my long time client and pal, Manuel from Spain. (no – he’s not from Barcelona!!)
Managing to resist temptation to get a curry on the way home, settling for a box of Sushi instead, a rally drive over the Pennines got me back home for 11pm! Whereby, hat number 3 got plonked on my head – D’oh! I mean DOUGH! I had to make a 12kg batch ready for this evenings pizzas at Nenthead.
This meant a 1.30am bedtime to allow it 2 hours to rise
How better to spend that 2 hours? By biting the bullet of not worrying about AI in case it ‘learns all about me and is reporting me to the feds etc’ A long and tangented chat ensued which saw us chatting about Roman and Greek history… all linked into – the new business. Finally I took off that 4th hat, Put the dough in the fridge and went to bed
beep beep beep
That’s my twelve minutes up
