Today, looking like this but on a push bike...

But on the flip side, flew up the big hill in the village

Polishing f**king shoes.

I'm off to RIAT tomorrow for the long weekend, I'll be controlling entry to the VIP area and consequently I'll be dressed up in my No. 1 uniform...

Anyhoo, my shoes have been sitting in various places throughout the house for the last 2 years gathering dust and having precisely no polish applied to them.

In hindsight I guess I should have started polishing them far earlier than a week ago.

You've never polished your shoes?

You should be kicked out for that.

Wear Nikes instead.

Just Do It.

I've got two pairs.

One for everyday use (No. 2), one for ceremonial stuff (No. 1). I only need to briefly polish my No. 2s two or three times a month, they're actually my old No. 1s and with a healthy build of polish on them, they're good to go.
My No. 1s however...
I got a new pair about 2 years ago, but at the time had no need for them to be used.

And since then, when I have needed them I've just put a few layers on my No. 2s and got away with it.

But now, at such a high profile public event and with my No. 2s about to die (they're looking pretty tired), I've had to bite the bullet.


I don't mind polishing shoes, but after a week of it I've had enough!

I remember weeks of spit polishing Itchy. And new shoes are a nightmare, takes so long to get that base layer to them.

I actually used to enjoy spit polishing, my method was light layers and just breathing on the polish for the moisture.

Also nothing worse than doing all that work then having someone stand on your foot and scratching it 5 mins after you put them on!

Sounds like you need to "delegate" that task to a grunt.?

I will be there on Friday.... not VIP.... not at these prices, unless you can sneak me in lol
Judging by a few years back I will be the one with the smallest camera lol
It's like who can go the biggest lmao.... oh the shame.

Past three days been at hq, for Qrt sales meeting, always good when you are not only at the top of the tables, but by a long way lol.....won't last for ever I know, nice when it is that way lmao.

However during the visit we did a liittle boat trip in the evening down the Orwell, that was nice, only time it pissed down bloody typical
Home now and bloody shattered, mind and body

On way to that there London to watch the tennis at Wimbledon

Back in the office after day off yesterday - meetings all morning I can not be bothered today

Wading through countless emails. I couldn't be arsed to log on when I was out of the office. I'm paying for it now.

Mending things. It seems to be have been a week of things breaking.

Working from home today and getting ready for a drive to the south coast with the tin can (caravan)

Going to watch my daughter at her school sports day then back to the qe hospital for some scan and biopsy results then the bloody dentists !

I hope she smashes it.

Having a meeting with my soon to be ex boss, should be interesting !!

Well, today I've managed to hit a VIP in the face.

I've been saluting a lot this morning, a lot of high-ranking officers from around the world are visiting. But the entry point is also the exit point, and when people are going out at the same time as a group of foreign officers are coming in and I have to bang one up...

Pow! Right in the kisser!

So that's going well for me.

I'm also waiting for someone to pick up the fact that I forgot to shave this morning.

Aren't I just the picture of professionalism?

Keep up the good work, you're making Britain proud.
