Today I will be undertaking the first day of a Coaching qualification...

My hats off to you, brother. Handling a four-in-hand is heady stuff. I remember seeing on ESPN a few years back Prince Charles hard charging through a river ford on a cross country.

As a retiree, I struggle to remember which day of the week it is on a regular basis which makes it little different from the latter part of my working life when I was mainly working from home ... of course these days both income and stress levels are much reduced. The latter more than balances out the former!

May you all have the best possible day, whatever it holds for you!

Well said! Could not improve on this.

What's everybody else up to?

Hope it went well, Nobby.

Me? Got up early to take wife and daughter No.1 to Ayrshire for some 'jolly' at the Lochgreen Hotel in Troon (2 hour round trip). On way back, got call from daughter No.2 who wanted picked up as her car had to go into the garage. Watched two episodes of Versailles (great costumes - when they've got them on!), fell asleep afterwards, took daughter No.2 back garage to get her car and then picked wife up at railway station. 

On the coaching, I bumped into 4 BMWs reverse parking, so that was a plus.

The audit went very well. I redirected most of the questions to other managers. 

Very bad journey home - rain, rain, rain. Lots of blue lights and people still driving too fast in poor weather.

  ... really?

No.

I was doing coaching as in "a bit like, but not mentoring".

On each day we have to "coach" each other through a problem. I've been partnered with a girl whose first issue was that she gets too emotionally involved with clients.

I'm working on a scenario that will have her in tears on day 4. 

 

So no horses then? 

Well, I had a Tesco sandwich ... so possibly.

Why the long face?

Probably because he's been talking all day long and feels a little horse.

He'd better not try feeling our little horse.
She'd probably kick him into next week. 

Cheers - Phil

True enough. He'd be a foal if he did.

He's neighbody's foal.
