It can be a real bummer, but the most sensible course of action is to always conduct a risk assessment to ensure for optimal health and safety. Taking the time to set out an orange cone or two might make the difference between a mishap and a near-miss.
There is nothing cheeky about health and safety!
It is really easy to get comfortable, isn’t it? We settle into our routines, our day to days, our safe spaces and get into a rhythm. Although there are lots of benefits to sticking to plans and habits, it’s hard to grow, improve and transform once we are set for awhile. The solution? Get uncomfortable, get out of your comfort zone and step out and take a chance! Do something different, do something that might even scare you a bit, but whatever it is, every now and then step our of your safety zone and experience something new. It might just lead to something amazing.
Get out there and change things up – you are more courageous than you know!
Sundays are a wonderful time for a nice big meal. In the UK, many people enjoy a Sunday roast that features a carefully roasted meat or nut entree accompanied by a variety of delicious sides featuring potatoes, root vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Wherever you may be in the world while you are reading this, I hope you have a delicious meal to look forward to that fuels your body and mind for the upcoming week. 
It is frustrating sometimes when you are looking for something and your comrade does not take it very seriously. Sometimes, when my comrades are looking for things, I like to cheekily say, “it’s always in the last place you look!” Although this is a silly and unhelpful thing to say, it is also true.
Whatever you are looking for is actually in the last place you look!
There are some days where you just don’t have that much to say, and that is totally alright. Relax and have a wonderful Friday!
Yay for Fridays!
I have always been a fan of Thursdays. It is the day day before Friday, and the work week is officially almost done. Thursday was named for the Norse god Thor, and at some point in the distant past it was known as Thor’s Day. Thor was known for wielding a giant hammer and riding a chariot that was drawn by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. These goats were pretty badass, and pulled Thor’s thunder chariot on his many adventures and epics. You may not have met many goats that you would associate with heroic behavior, but I think inside even the most adorable caprine lies the spirit of a badass goat pulling a thunder chariot triumphantly towards the weekend!
Never underestimate a goat – or yourself!
The world is your runway. Take action, take a step forward, and do so with intention and purpose. The less you worry about what other people think, the less self conscious you will be, and the more wonderful your life will be.
You do you.
Our lives are full of competition, to the point where sometimes it feels like you simply can’t get away from it. When you lay the groundwork, put in the hours and do your best and you come in second, sometimes that can sting quite a bit. However, do not despair if you come in second, third, or even sixty-fourth in the competition. It may not feel like it in the moment, but the work you put in does count and eventually will lead to wonderful things, just maybe not in snagging the coveted first spot. Today’s entry is dedicated to Hugo, who valiantly represented Cambridge at the Oxford Cambridge Goat Race this past Sunday, and came in second. Maybe your year will be 2020, Hugo, or maybe your victory has yet to manifest, but either way, you were smashing and should be proud.
Hugo is a legend.
Today, your goat of the day is Hamish , the champion of the Oxford Cambridge Goat Race and resident of Spitalfields City Farm in London, UK. With his victory yesterday, Hamish has won the Goat Race four times! Hamish is an African Pygmy Goat, a breed known for its small stature, playful attitude and intelligence.
Well done, Hamish!
Today was a very exciting day in the UK. A very famous race between two of the world’s most renowned universities, Oxford and Cambridge, takes place every year in the spring time. Each team spends the winter training and gearing up for the big day. Light blue versus regular blue, and there is plenty of pomp and circumstance before the big race and then…one goat representing Cambridge and one representing Oxford run side-by-side and whoever crosses the finish line at Spitalfields City Farm first wins! Last year, it was a very close race, but Hamish the goat representing Oxford gamboled across the finish line first – and this year he held his title! Hugo, the goat representing Cambridge put in a very good effort, but it was not quite enough to beat last year’s champion. The Oxford Cambridge Goat Race is a wonderful Sunday afternoon with plenty of tasty beverages, goat-related puns, and good times. There is even a pre-goat race pig race that is a lot of fun. It is very advisable to book in advance, as it is the best race happening in London this day and is likely to sell out – you wouldn’t want to be stuck with nothing to do on race day!
