Welcome to Episode 157 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest, and it is Friday 20th of November 2020. There we go. Got the formalities out of the way. Today it was a really good day in the sense of a balanced my day very well, I got up, expecting to be training at 830 but there was a misunderstanding and he had a split Tim for 930. So, Simona and I had actually gotten up before the kids amazingly they'd slept in. And because the United had a good you know good light and when he woke up, he was in a really good mood, which translates to not the regular grumpy necessarily but he had a good sleep, and that translates basically to him being more receptive to play with me and not to stick to his mother. And so, I actually because I was kind of ready, I took him out for a walk and we went out for a nice walk for about 45 minutes which he really enjoyed and I certainly enjoyed because he was holding my hand in the hallway of his own volition, and it was lovely. And then I came back. And so having spent time with him then did, training, and it was a it was a good session, it wasn't so hard for me as Wednesday's wiping out. Plus, I had a good sleep I had a good breakfast, like eight o'clock so I had good time to digest it, so I was energised and energetic. So it was good I got a good sweat on but I wasn't totally dead. So it was a nice way to start you know having spent time and Leonardo and then that. And then I had a shower and then we had an early lunch and then I got cracking with work. I tried to sort of get on with the next song on the album so I've kind of nearly pretty close to done the first three songs on a blind diet to love So kick it off with the fourth song today. And that was the title track a blind eye to love which is also really good tracks for good potential, and I can definitely envisage stirring strings and horns and stuff at the end of it, which yeah I'm really looking forward to putting down but today was just looking for trying to find the right drum beats which didn't quite get so, you know, some progress but not as much as I'd liked. And then I thought I'd better do some work on. Well actually I had on the downside. A couple of investments that I made a few years ago had been performing extremely well. So much so that they probably will as of today because they're basically in Bitcoin were worth about 60% of all of the investments we've done, and a significant amount of money, especially from where we are right now. And long story short, there were two different companies, and one, threw in fraud on one of their employees and the other because it might have been dodgy To start with, basically both disappeared well having disappeared once filed bankruptcy and frozen all accounts and the other one is basically frozen all accounts and is just dodging. And so, because it's Bitcoin. The price of bitcoin has been rising astronomically in the last few weeks and it's soul crushing because I was like, I'm getting in relatively early on this Bitcoin I'm gonna be in there for the long term. I'm really looking forward to this. It's gonna be great investment blah blah blah. it's grown, 10 times in the last three years since what I put in, and now it's disappeared, basically, which is just like, oh, and it's not the money per se, it's the fact that I've lost my Bitcoin. So, I had, I've been looking at emails and stuff regarding joining a class action suit but it's in Spain. And I don't know if I've got the money to basically get embroiled in all of that, and start that lengthy process. And I've never done anything like that and I don't really want the hassle and the stress of it and so I had to read through all these legal documents and I did my knotting but there's a deadline of Monday to either get involved or not and so that was rather stressful and then I thought, right. Well, I also on the plus side, I do have a new client for audience ninja. So, let me get cracking on their, their stuff so I got started on that
