Joys of being dumped by the love of your life and wanting to ignore festivities.

50% retired a decade ago at just over 40 and for the last few years avoided paid work, although I like actually really like doing the odd job. These days don't seem to have any time and I wonder how people have time to work. Additionally on top of that run families!

Spent 4 months travelling in Germany and Italy this year. 3 months a couple of years ago and 2 months in England to see relatives in 2010 buying myself a return business class ticket. This year unfortunately did not go business class as I wanted the extra cash for the Freelander.

Bought the Freelander to give me a bit more room to explore the backyard. Already slept in the back of the Freelander for a few nights, really a test, as it was not raining. Do intend to use a tent but if it is bucketing down then to be able to sleep in the car was a requirement. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Light water, that sounds fantastic, I am very envious. Finished for a couple weeks and have been working 7 days a week for the past three weeks, the beauty of running your own business! Enjoyed most of it as well! Have a good and safe break one and all.

No chickens in my shed so not much work here, 2 days work setting up sheds again for new chickens 2 jan.

xmas will be at my dads house 100 yards away. then boxing day will mostly be spent scowling at the sister in law

new years a load of friends round here as usual kids games then send the littles ones to bed , throw car keys in the bowl  At work

...and end up with the Sister in Law again

No chance of that - only direct relatives are allowed to throw their keys in the pot round those parts......

The joys of working 7 days a week!

I have done my fair share to the point of beyond reason and a serious health and safety risk to myself. The worst stretch was 2 x 70 hour weeks then a 3rd of 132 hours. It took me about 3 months to recover. Never again and I don't wish it upon anyone.

Unfortunately Christmas usually adds stress. I hope everyone gets enough time to unwind. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Retired so probably last minute shopping, think work was preferable to shopping. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

Being a bus driver its carry on regardless, off Christmas Day and Boxing Day (voluntary shifts) but lands on my weekend off so 4 days this year.  21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200
