Allure Homme Sport

I’m not far from 50 and like a lot of people my age I’m really stuck in my ways. Not saying it’s a bad thing, just acknowledging it. In fact in many ways I’m cool with it. I know what I like and I like to keep it that way. Many previous partners have tried to change certain things in me.  I’m not going in to what these things are but one of them is my diet. I’m very limited in what I like but what I do enjoy I eat a hell of a lot of. I lift weights so I’m doing something right. 

I train hard in the gym 3 times a week to build muscle (not easy in my late 40s) but it means I’m virtually always hungry) but it’s all cool, I tend to hit my protein targets each day but again with the same or limited food. Hell, it works. 

Previous partners have been frustrated at my self imposed limitations and tried to add things to my diet. Each and every one who tried has failed  

All except my current. She and I have decided we’re keeping our business secret and between us so I’m not naming her or saying anything identifiable about her. 

But holy shit she has changed me in so many ways without even trying. She has legit not tried to change a thing. It’s like just my being around her is influencing me in to trying, eating and saying things that just would
never occur before. 

And I like it. I love it. I’m not easily influenced (well not since the 2017 incident - if you need to ask what that was then you don’t know me well enough for me to want to tell you) though. I’ve never tried to be a good guy, my motto has always been “try not to be a bad guy”. But she is making me in to a better person. Now of course Rome wasn’t built in a day so this is going to be a long process. But the changes are already beginning. As my very good friend Jayne would say, “baby steps”. Yes they’re baby steps but still steps all the same. 

I want no other woman for the rest of my life. She was right under my nose all these years and now we’re together (my current, not Jayne!). My kids have both accepted her strongly. This is something a number of my exes should have done but I’m not throwing them under the bus here, I had my faults with them but that’s a story for another day.

Remonstrate

 So it finally happened. After 11 years employment with a great firm I’m moving on to pastures new. Well if it’s so great why are you leaving??  Yeah yeah I get it. I’m not leaving the parent company, I’m moving from one of its subsidiary companies in to another. Payroll, HR etc is all dealt with by the same people in the same area etc but the new organisation does a completely different role, serving different people in a different way. For example there’s an organisation which (I think) owns Argos, Sainsbury’s, B&Q etc and the set-up here is similar. Anyway it will be emotional. These guys were supportive when I went through my lowest times, when my dark clouds would not move etc and I have always felt a strong sense of loyalty to them so once I begin with the new company I won’t be negging on them at all. Admittedly this is very daunting. But everyone I know who made the same move I’m doing have said I have great things to look forward to. So here goes!

If you know me (chances are you don’t) then you’ll be aware of my obsession for gadgets. I’m not too concerned with having the very latest up-to-date boys’ toys (mainly due to the inflated prices) so I’m cool with waiting 2 years or so for something. For example in 2020 I bought a pair of Apple AirPods, the 1st generation wit no wireless charging etc and I’ve been fine using them for over 2 years. I’m not an audio-quality obsessive (even though I have worked in radio in the past), as long as they work well and give good audio quality - I do listen to a lot of podcasts, and music sounds good at the gym whilst I workout then it’s good to me.  I was never tempted to upgrade to the AirPods Pro at any time mainly due to the cost. I’d heard the sound quality was better but not to the point where an extra £50 was justifiable.  So what did I do? Went and bought a set of AirPod Pros. Only the 1st generation though as again wireless charging doesn’t massively appeal to me but the sound ...

Romulus

 Only a few people know this but there’s only one chick flick I’ll willingly watch and even then it has to be watched during one particular week of the year. I refuse to watch it any other time.  Love, Actually.  And it has to be watched towards the end of the third week of November. Why? Because there’s when it begins in the film. 5 weeks before Christmas. I always wanted to find a woman who would happily watch it with me as it does get me a bit emotional especially the final scenes of everyone’s stories coming together at the airport.  One exe of mine watched it one year with me but refused to watch it the following year because “Why? We’ve already seen it once”). That was the moment I knew we’d have no future. Even if it means nothing to her, it meant to something to ME. And I’d have done it in return in a similar scenario for her.  Anyway. Each time I watch it I hate Alan Rickman’s character and you know why.  But this year (funnily enough the 20th anni...
