Morning, all. Slept like a log last night. Another hour would have been nice, but it sure as **** beats the **** out of getting up in the dark and getting a train to London.

Morning, been to the gym; leg day. Legs now like jelly.

Currently breakfasting, then I'll be walking into town to go get my truck from the garage after its MOT. Then off to work for 10am zoom and stuff.

Morning all. Office again today, but an early finish as I'm picking Joseph up from nursery at 3.
And he wants to get an ice cream to eat by the beach. - If I must......

Find a job you love, and you'll never work a day in your life ;)

So back to the grindstone today then :lol:

No, seriously, very happy in my job right now. Busy but rewarding. Not quite so many calls today.

Have a good one, all

Well confusingly I'm working this weekend but I've just had 5 days off...I prefer working shifts at weekends, its quieter!

Good Moring everyone, on the early today, skies are clear (CAVOK), virtually no wind, but only 2 degrees C. Not a bad day to go flying.

Yeah we do ten hours shifts but that extra 3 hours per shift when we're contracted to 35 hours per week mounts up. Attendences at work are less, plus giving up the managerial reigns means that my e-mithers have reduced from 100 per day to a mere trickle...definitley a quieter life AT work for me...

The best shift pattern I worked was 12 hour days 3 on 3 off rotating no nights. Still got 22 days annual leave so if I took 9 shifts it gave me 3 weeks off.

Years ago I did 12 hours, 3 on, 3 off, 3 on, 4 off. Alternating nights and days. That was good for gaming :)

its the Welsh pubs getting ready Phil which has given us a massive week. Add to the fact the weather was nice last weekend and the English pubs went mad as a box of frogs then it makes a very interesting week. Can’t complain though as great for the business.

A very good morning to all. Volume dropped like a stone for delivery Monday. That’s because we have been filling the Welsh pubs all week for Monday’s opening....Well outside anyway.
