Dunkield Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Like most people, I work during the week to fund what I do at weekends and in my spare time, so it isn't very often I get what I would call a good day during the week. Yesterday was a good day. Each of these events for me were 'cha ching' moments: Woke up the sun was shining Working from home, therefore with aid of modern technology = working from the back garden. Breakfast in the garden boot the notebook up. First email is from my manager, he has taken the day off and I am 'in charge' Order myself to take a well deserved long lunch. Get confirmation of next months pike fishing weekend get confirmation of this Saturdays beer and chainsaw day + poolside barbie Take mrs and master stuartp out for lunch, eating outside again Finish early and have dinner in the garden Take the dog for a long walk next to the Thames = bunny chasing heaven. Mrs stuartp spots a blackberry bush stuffed to the gills with fruit Dog accidentally catches a rabbit (myxi'd which makes it even better) walks back th car with a spring in his step * A couple of beers outside the pub and off home. The one thing that makes a day like that work, is the weather, and being able to do stuff outside. I am sure that is why people on the continent seem more laid back and generally care free than us. I enjoy days like that when I can get them, knowing that next week someone, somewhere, is just waiting to pee on my chips * Picture of blooded, but content dog: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 All sounds very good indeed mate, with the possible exception of the above I know what you are saying, but we are all grown up, well sort of . . My mate has bought a house with 11 acres of woodland and we go round give him a hand from time to time. The beer will be set aside until the bulk of the work is done Mind you there is talk of sorting out some problem wabbits on his back lawn after dark, so this may one of my last posts . . .
