danieldwilliam1) Who made you feel good this week, and how?
My personal trainer who encouraged me to reach several personal bests at the gym this week but more generally has really helped me get much, much fitter than I think I've ever been. I can lift more weight, run futher and faster, bend, stretch and reach more. My current favourite thing to do is to stand on one leg and bend over and touch the floor just in front of my foot. It's harder than it sounds and I couldn't have done it a year ago.
And my wife smiled at me which made me feel lovely.
2) What did you do this week that moved you closer to reaching your goals?
Kept working my to do list. I'm trying to really build in some new habits and practice about how to keep myself organised and on track. Went looking for some extra work from my boss - felt energised about work. I also spoke to my mum about lots of things - which is important because one of my most important goals right now is making sure that my family and each individual in it gets through the difficult twelve months we all appear to be having.
3) What did you most enjoy doing this week?
Playing rugby with the Captain. After our training session on Sunday we took a ball out on the Meadows and threw and kicked it around. It was the first warm and sunny day we've had for a while and we were having a nice time. I taught him how to do a torpedo kick which is something I learned when I moved to Australia and we got taught Australian Rules football.
4) What did you learn this week?
That environmental reporting is a seasonal activity driven by the requirements of the FTSE.
5) What’s the funniest thing that happened to you this week?
I had a chat with my mum and we made each other laugh - which was good for both of us. In parallel, the Captain is has been trying all week to stick his fingers in my belly button to see if it really does go to Australia and this has made him very, very ticklish.
