Hi,pride
is something we all feel but if you are like me you probably don’t show it
enough.Pride in ourselves,pride in others,pride in a uniform needs to be
expressed and acknowledged.As Kiwis we are typically humble and tend to let our
pride fly under the radar a little more than we should.So I am officially
breaking the mold and announcing how proud I was of my wife Christine last
weekend for helping organise and partcipating in our local volunteer fire
brigades 50th anniversary and open day celebrations! I think it is
important to shout stuff like this from the roof tops and to make sure the
people closest to you know exactly how you feel!Your mission is to tell someone
how proud you are of them in the coming week…….it will make you and them feel
awesome! Just do it!!
Fletcher says; the best thing
about the Fire Brigade open day was definitely the bouncy castle closely
followed by squirting his Father with a high pressure fire fighting hose! (attached).
The
pitter patter of tiny feet is normally something to celebrate unless of course
they are of the rodent variety!We have had several furry families attempting to
move into #48 this winter and have managed to repel them by laying baits
regularly.The unpleasant downside is the smell eminating from the ceiling for a
week or two after each eradication campaign.The shallow cavity between our
ceiling and our roof is such that we are unable to remove before the
decomposition stage!!!I have developed a
brief explanation script for visitors to warn them……that’s life in the country
folks!!
Its
business end time at RWC 2015 and I cant wait for next weekends quarter finals
where the top teams in the world will go head to head….ruggers heaven,it
doesn’t get any better…GO ALL BLACKS !!
I
hope you are enjoying life whatever you are up to, take care have a good one.….……Cheers
Jonesey!

I love buying and wearing something new.
It always makes me feel good and that gives me confidence and
I reckon people I meet react positively to me if I look and feel a million
bucks.
I was lucky enough to discover a scooby doo deal on a suit
(new not recycled J) recently the wearing of which happened to coincide with me
closing a couple of good deals!
I felt great and I reckon the threads made me look and feel
successful which is exactly what happened.
It is easy to get complacent about how you look and what you
wear but the reality is that it matters!
Taking time over your appearance is essential if you want to
project the right image no matter what you do.
I remember many years ago I bought a a pre loved Armani suit
at a Primary School jumble sale for $15.
It was navy and could have been tailored for me it fitted so
well and looked amazing……how do I know….well apart from my own opinion it was
also the opinion of everyone I met in that suit.It was a suit with X factor and
with me in it there was no stopping the deals from flowing inJ.
Maybe it wasn’t that good but it seemed it and I cherished
the opportunities to wear that suit because together we were winners!
I also had a Pierre Cardin double breasted blazer (new) of
epic Fleet Admiral proportion and it looked and made me feel like royalty…….yes
clothes, accessories and grooming are a critical success factor.
Speaking of accessories the recent coup de gras for me is
definitely the wooden eco watch equally at home with suits and casual attire
and more of a talking point than a Tag or Rolex would ever be !!
Yes perception is everything so always be on the look out for
the X factor edition to your wardrobe!!!
