Where to start?

I've been thinking (read trying) to write, start, whatever phrase you wish to use on one of these for many many years, in fact over the years many people have said I should. Well I'm finally giving it a go, some of it will be controversial for sure.

In the meantime I've posted my Strava widgets on the right hand side of the page, the only sports I really do are cycling and skiing and both of those record on Strava.

I've started add links to other blogs / webpages on the same sidebar as well.

A bit of history, born and raised in the UK, working for big corporates and traveled the world, hence the domain name, notimezone.net, as one of my corporate bios once said I professed no time zone as I traveled cray amounts of miles on planes. Not uncommon for me to fly over 1/3rd million miles in a year which is over 13 times around the world, over 100 take off and landings (good they matched) and that did include some round the world trips. As a result I'm lifetime Gold on the likes of BA and Virgin, plus lots of hotel chains.

Moved from an OEM to an iGaming provider in 2017, then in 2019 was offered a chance to go work for an iGaming provider based out of Spain. That gets me into the whole Brexit fiasco and sitting on the outside looking in at the state of the UK. What it has told me is I should have taken opportunities like this earlier in my life and moved whilst the kids were still at home, as it stands it is my wife and I, plus the dog living just outside Marbella.

So now we get to enjoy the benefits of being an EU resident, with better weather and a chance to explore and travel somewhere, plus we have to learn Spanish wine.
