I have work lined up for next week, my other service team guy has atleast tuesday lined up, one of the projects guys i was working with has work lined up, but things were looking pretty bleak for the 4 guys who are on annual leave as there isnt any work on. The italian bloke who is off was a bit concerned, especially as work sacked a bloke last week so he went in for a meeting today to see where he stands. The bloke who got sacked has nothing to do with the current situation, he hadnt been doing his job for the past 12 months and had been called into to the office more times then enough. The boss told the italian bloke his job is safe and we picked up a pretty big job that kicks off next week. So that gets everybody back to work. Its a 6 week deadline and no overtime, but still, no lay offs due to the current situation. As ive said before there isnt a bloke i work with who i wouldnt have a beer with. We have a really top crew on at the moment so its good to see theyre all being kept on the books.

Under a government led by me, Autumn would be the only season!

Mr Terry off lead in public beach today.
He's a big boy but always "I'll do what I want thanks Dad". He passed brilliantly. Had many people say how nice (which he is) he behaved : ) |

I went for a walk to the shops this morning because it is allowed. In the empty food court the tables and chairs have been removed some weeks ago. There were a couple of young, sad looking people with no customers at one of those food/coffee shops. So I purchased a coffee even though I didn't want a coffee just to put a bit of money in their till.

It seems there's less 15 year old ****box 4 cylinder economy cars with loud exhausts around these days.
I remember 10 years ago everywhere you went there was always some old 4 cylinder with a 'sports' exhaust system droning away. Have to say I don't see that much anymore which is great. Loud exhausts seem to be usually reserved for decent cars these days. |

A nice hot shower!
With the cooler weather setting in, a nice hot shower at the end of the day is bliss. I'm a big believer in enjoying the smaller, simpler things in life.

I think people at my work who started in the past 5 years seem less likely to be social with people they don't know. I have always tried to talk about non work things to work colleagues. The problem is there are probably 250 people currently employed at my depot. That's not including the other 70-100 people who have left over the past 11 years I've been there. I think out of the 250 employees I only know on a somewhat personal level about 90. It still backfires sometimes, like when I asked someone how his house boat was going. He let me know he has never had one and doesn't have a boat licence |

I just made it to the front gate (about 100m) with the rubbish bin without stopping for the first time in 18 months.
I've been a bit crook and it's been a goal to be able to walk that far in one hit! Bring on next Friday! |

Son got a mountain bike for Christmas and we've been riding around town a fair bit Mostly on roads and lane-ways. He's managed to find a few jumps to take it off and is getting braver every week. He challenged me to do some jumps with him and it escalated from there trying to find bigger and badder things to take our bikes down. He managed everything I could throw at him, which isn't much when we cant go far and your basically limited to the local park. But got home and he had the biggest smile on his face and is keen as to do it all again. Cant wait for this lock-down to end so we can hit the local bike park.
