Frequently when working from home I get the urge for a cheeky short bike ride (at lunchtime of course), but today I'd need to be dressed like that bloke off the Fisherman's Friend packet.

Depending on your boss and work contract - don't take your work phone with you.

I don't have one fortunately!
As for lunchtimes at work ~ one of my old work colleagues from many years ago, long since retired, when faced with a lunchtime question from the boss would happily point out that break times were his time and not to bother him .
A proper old school chap who'd started his working career in Darlington Railway works.

Black Bin's bin emptied and put back in it's place in the garden.

I seem to be plagued with seized things!
I'm trying to remove the cold side tap cassette type thing and it won't budge ! I might have to get a new tap !

How do know what type of voice I found?

I was just offering a suggestion.

Honestly, I try to be helpful and this is the response...

One reason I wouldn't have stayed with my previous employer for long, was that they expected us to "be available" in the lunch breaks.

One reason my contract wasn't renewed, was that I never was, if you see what I mean.

Just had to send a client home. I could smell the alcohol on his breath as I came into the workshop.

He could probably work safely but he needs to know there are boundaries.

Back home and it's still raining.

Stepfather has had his quick operation while mum, my sister and I have had a very nice get together and natter over coffee and cake - I know who had the better time. Now to do a few domestics and have a rest before heading to Cambridge this evening.

Just back from the Docs. I have Laryngitis.

Black Bin's bin emptied and put back in it's place in the garden.

Just realised mine has too but in can stay on vacation a bit longer given the rain.

Today's rain has done a good job of shutting the birds up. Just one burst of squabbling finches all morning.

I ended up buying a new tap . It is fitted and working now . £44 for a mixer tap thingy. Saved a a lot of cursing although I did spill some blood trying to remove the plastic bung in the end of the old tap with my prodder.

I think our Fisherman's Friend packets just have a trawler pictured on them.
