Sales Drive

Ola!
I’ve just been for a bit of a hectic run around the block. It was hard work this morning-probably due to my lack of fitness but I’m definitely making progress. I also do a little Arnie style workout before I go out using my Tescos Value dumbells. Matt has since pointed out why they are Value branded- the weights unscrew themselves as you use them & come perilously close to falling off.It adds a certain soupcon of excitment to my morning routine.
Animal wise, all seems well. The problem with our gorgeous pets is that most of them are now really getting on a bit.It’s a case of damage limitation & make them comfy & happy in their golden years. Diesey (German Shepherd- 10yo) is now having a dose of my cod liver oil & glucosamine each morning to help his hips. He seems very happy with this arrangment as the pills are stuffed into a nice bit of Somerset Camembert for him.It helps the medicine go down.
Work wise- we are working on more sales & account managment.Got some nice meetings lined up as well as some SCARY presentations-I’ll keep you posted on these nearer the time. We’re doing some staff training this afternoon on the infamous HACCP- it’s a food safety system first devised to produce safe food for Nasa astronauts.HACCP is now a legal requirement for all food production businesses inc cafes as well as more conventional manufacturing companies.
Sara (design guru genius) is working on some groovesome designs for our up and coming Japanese trip- should look lush. In readiness for her trip Charlotte read that to blow your nose in Japan is the height of rudeness-Charlotte blows her nose a LOT so she has been ‘practising’ ie leaping out of the office whenever she begins to feel the urge.It has been highly entertaining, and she is getting it quicker & slicker all the time.
Trish didn’t murmur about our unusual 3 in a room arrangment for the Dublin trip but Matt has saved all our blushes & booked her a room of her own! I’m sure we’ll still make the most of our stay.
Hope you have a wonderful day
