Best of Both Worlds

 So, the high court has decided that a man is a man, and a woman is a woman.  What they call themselves or what changes they have been through to get to what they call themselves is irrelevant.  I think that makes sense, but if not you probably know what I mean.  It's all been a bit confusing really with all those pronouns trying to trump the biological aspect.  I've always thought we could live with both i.e. what we are and what we think we are, so hopefully it's a bit clearer now.

It's Easter starting tomorrow, so we have 4 days off to tuck into lots of chocolate and in my case there will be a few birthday gifts (I hope!) to open on Saturday.  After a full weekend last week tiling, I've managed 2 runs and a bike into work this week, hopefully get another of each in before Monday.  My target was 2 bike rides + 3 runs, but I've only had time/weather/inclination to do 1 bike ride a week (I count a to and form work as 1 bike ride).  The Spanish training camp (holiday) is in 3 weeks, so I really do need to get some pedaling in before then to make it more comfortable. 

Taking Stock

I learned something new today, that there's a thing called 'live shopping'.  Evidently this is where someone tries to sell goods via the medium of film on (I assume) a Youtube channel or similar.  It's big in Asia I understand, and will be big here and in Europe.  Let's see. I'm not convinced, but than again any shopping experience for me is not a good experience.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump's tariffs continue to make the stock markets fall and all those poor stockbrokers wring their hands with angst.  It seems to be a very risky gamble that he's taken, so as an outsider with no real substantial stock-market investments it's quite interesting looking from a distance and see how it pans out.
