It has been a busy day so far. 20k steps and counting.
We have just headed back to the van for an hour to have a sit down and chill out before we head to the onsite bar later for a couple of drinks and a pizza for dinner.
The dog is shattered. He has gone straight to bed. Will have to drag him out again in a bit 🤣🤣🤣2 -
You’ve picked a brilliant weekend to go weather wise. Enjoy your evening 🍻I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

It is nice and sunny but really windy here. There is a very strong breeze coming in off the sea.Sun_Addict said:You’ve picked a brilliant weekend to go weather wise. Enjoy your evening 🍻
We both said it's the kind of day that would catch you out on the boat. Looks nice on shore bit will be lumpy as he'll out at sea 😲1 -
We are going to take the dog for a good long walk on the beach this morning before we head home. He will enjoy that.
We are going to get up and have a few coffee's first and some eggy bread cheese on toast for breakfast.
We have some leftover pizza which we will warm up for lunch when we get home and dinner later is roast lamb and all the trimmings.
It will probably be a no spends day but it's a bit early to call that yet!1 -
Back to work unfortunately today. It's far too hot to be sat in a stuffy office!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is cajun lamb wraps.
Tonight's jobs are:- walking the dog
- weekly shop

They do try to keep us all happy. Not that some seem to appreciate it. We lose another member of our team on Wednesday which is a shame.1 -

I think it’s how the individual interprets whether an employer is good or not. I’m really happy where I work and think I work for a good employer, one of my work friends thinks the exact opposite! A lot of people are all about the money and will move for that reason alone.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
