Welcome to Episode 101 of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest. It is Monday the 14th of September 2020 which marks it one week, I just realised before my 40th birthday. So, yeah, that's something for you. One week before my 40th birthday, I just read that, there is the distinct possibility that life has been found in the atmosphere of the planet Venus. So, I don't know how that's related, obviously it's an early birthday present for me. But I there's a pretty important scientific discovery if it turns out to be accurate, and therefore I thought I would share it today, because, you know, I think it's cool. Today, well today. So, as you know if you're listening yesterday to Episode 100, I was really tired drained drained drained drained after the week looking forward to a good rest and a good sleep. And instead, I couldn't sleep till after five this morning. Just lay in bed, could not sleep. And so today, instead of kicking off the day with a an exercise session with a personal trainer and then doing, getting back to work. So I've had kind of two days off and then in Italian and my Italian lesson this evening my Italian coach and instead I just set everything off, almost, right, that's it I just don't have the energy. Now I'm not gonna have the energy Saturday, we're going to pretend I got the energy. And in few of my new filter, which I'm trying to apply to everything which is, it can wait. Or you can turn into question Can it weigh in most cases it can wait. So I thought everything I thought, you know, it can wait. So I messaged everybody that was expecting to hear from me on Sunday or today, or expecting to meet with me on video calls and settled I'm really sorry but we'll bump towards you tomorrow. And as a consequence, after, sort of a little bit of time this morning I said to Simona. Let's go for a walk. And I hardly had any energy to go for a walk like really I was walking like some kind of stone drunk man. But um, we, we went out and we had a walk, just the two of us while the kids, presumably watched, and it was glorious haven't been out during the day with Simona for a walk in months. Literally months. And so we went down to skip on to walked up to the castle walk back we sat on the rocks, overlooking the sea for 1020 minutes was chat is wonderful. And then after that we came back, we had lunch the kids were embroiled in a game where they basically took a ball a string and tied it, I mean literally around every room in the house is like a spider's web and then they came outside with it too. But once they're in the house. We seem cooked and then we set up table on the balcony. And we had a nice luxury allegedly lunch glass of wine, just chilling just talking did a video call with my mum and dad. And it was super super pleasant. And then after that, we then we decided to go to the beach. So we got the kids ready eventually and then we went down the beach and we're just for an hour. We had a swim. And then we came back. sim a dinner while I shower the kids and myself and then we go into the kids room, and we watched the rest of the third Lord of the Rings Return of the King for the last couple of hours. And it was just, just a really enjoyable day off, just not just the day off but not feeling guilty about work not thinking about what just just enjoy being in the now, and a follow up from yesterday is you know I realised I really do spend my life living in the future. Too much. I think and plan for the future I defer gratification, you know, until the future and the and too much of that is not a good thing just like living too much in the present is not a good thing, but a balance is what you're after, and what I'm not having at the moment, and I'm not balanced. So, in view of these new ideas and these new changes in my outlook and how they'll last but we'll see. I thought you know I slip in the moment let's just enjoy a day of doing stuff. So that was basically my day on a grander scale. I really feel that you know
