Welcome to Episode 69 dude of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest. If you're on Twitter. And you know where 69 dude comes from there let me know, at Romeo crow. And if you don't know what that comes from just let me know anyway. So, yeah today. Basically, I woke up with a banging headache. And I just did not have the energy to train the trainer, or really even to do any work. And I think it was my body, basically just saying, dude, you need to take risks arrest you need some time off. So took a very leisurely morning chilled in bed a bit and then just chatted with Simona and the kids and really didn't do too much, and then kind of here, just just realised that you know sometimes you're going to take a bit of time off and if you don't do it, because you want to your body will soon tell you to do it make you do it. And then in the afternoon I did a bit of work, starting to prep myself to get back towards music take the small steps so I first looked at the grip the sky experience made a few changes to that started to reef familiarise myself with what needs doing to finally finish it and get it out there. So that's a little step closer which is excellent. And then I booted up Cubase which is the music production software I use, and found that there was updates they've done some new kind of semi version of it and then some other bits I need to update. So, you know I updated all of that. Look to the software again reminding myself that it's really complicated I've already forgotten what I'm doing with it. I've used it for years but you know that's what happens when you fall off the waggon. So that was kind of really my, my working day I mean it wasn't really too sunny wasn't too strenuous looked tense, actually, you know, started to get myself familiar with the different features on tense now they have over the last few years they have kind of blackout tents which is like cut out 99% of the light so basically it's just really dark in the bedroom, which is what you want because if anybody's ever been camping you know that as soon as the sun comes up. You know, you start waking up and it's it's difficult to lie and so ideally if you've got a couple of kids especially if you want them to go to bed before the sun's gone down, you know, then it's basically pitch black in there near enough and that sounds like a good plan. So looking at tense, looking at tow bars and trailers and how are actually going to fit everything together on the car. Eventually, through not gonna get attempt until we leave Ischia might well go back to Castroville in sort of October, and then spend the next couple of months or more basically focusing on outdoor stuff. So today, as the first step towards that for me that's really interested at the moment in, you know, kind of doing outdoor stuff. So, I want to encourage that and I want to as I said on podcast previously I want to get out of my comfort zone. And all of us, part of the reason for the personal trainers for similar night to get fitter, so that we can do more outdoorsy stuff more sporty stuff more stuff as a family and explore an adventure and blah blah blah. So, the first stage of that was arrived today from Amazon we had the head torch we were testing which is really cool. It was down for like 12 quid eight quid and it's brilliant it's USB powered really bright different modes got red lights so that you can wear at night, doesn't destroy night vision, really pleased with it. So we're just testing now got a compass means first compass like proper you know map compass. So, that right today, along with a flint for starting Spark, like this kind of Flint set of how to use it, but I have to learn. Because one of the things we're going to start with metre an iron sim Leonardo is to learn to make fire properly so that's going to be cool, and also what came is a lock knife. I bought for Mina. So her first knife. And so you open it and it locks and basically our rounded head, and it's obviously only sharp
