Welcome to Episode 103 of my podcasts The view from the crow's nest It is Wednesday the 16th of September 2020. And oh boy, do I have no much to tell you today. So you got off lightly. And also my brains got off lightly. So I couldn't sleep again till after three this morning, which meant that my morning was basically ruined. I thought I was gonna lose all day, but actually managed to rally in the afternoon and get some stuff done. Key stuff that I did today, bringing on board like into the team to new people. So now our audience ninja team is for including myself, Boss on an art stroke video person and a VA stroke researcher. So that is potentially huge. Move forward. Very important because obviously the more the team grows, the more capacity we have, etc. So that's Yeah, that's, that's really positive. Obviously, we'll see how these guys go moving forward, whether, you know, they kind of past the trial period, which I guess is like two or three weeks or something we'll see and see. But it feels good to get people onto the team, you know, moving forward. On a different note, after yesterday's eureka moment about planning to stay in Castro billary, not just for a few months, but maybe a few years as a base, and how that actually changes. What we may do there, for example, getting rid of furniture and getting different furniture in and making a far more livable place. for both of us feel very settled with our idea, like it's, you know, it's clearly the best course of action kind of thing. So now we're going to start moving towards getting ready for that including ordering eventually, broadband internet to be wired into the place, which I'm super looking forward to because last time we were there for the six months, we were there. We were using mobile internet You know, the whole time, which was just the ball ache. And now we're not gonna have to do that when we get this pumped in. So that's cool. And then, yeah, just as I keep saying for last few days, I guess this has been the kind of thought the overriding thought for the week is really just getting in, I just turned turning a big corner I feel is a big, big corners being turned right now. And like any corner, you can't see what's around it. But you do know that you are changing very much changing your view. If you imagine you're walking down the street. And that Street has lasted 10 years, well, for 10 years, you've basically had that same view, you know, you've been focused on the same thing, getting towards it, getting towards it, and turning the corner. You're completely changing the view. And of course, whilst you're turning the corner, you can't really see what it's going to become. It's just a bit of a blur. And that's the that's where I'm at right now. I feel like it's we're turning into something. And once we've turned that corner, whether that takes weeks or months, and I think it'll take much longer than that but once we take on that corner, then we'll be able to see the new street that we're on. And we'll be able to see in the distance what we're working towards now. And again, that street might be a five years three or 10 year Street, who knows. But at the moment, I feel like I'm in the turning the corner face definitely changed my perspective changed my view. But I'm not yet sure exactly what the next perspective looks like. So exciting and daunting in the same in the same moment. And outside of that, basically be my day I feel like really added anything to it. Oh, doesn't sound very interesting or very good or very satisfying of feeling or whatever. Successful. I don't know what the right words are. But I guess the real success is in turning that corner. So we'll see what comes out. ahead, my Italian lesson today. another hour and a half session. Tomorrow is gonna be a two hour session. So I'm building out my stamina. I am improving. You know, I'm starting to understand it's about the grammar they didn't understand before. I'm getting more confident with my spe
