Doing 10 or 10 and half hour days at work. It's hot. Mid to high 30's out where we work.
No shade or breeze where we are.
Had 2 lads ill from the heat, I was awake last night with cramps in my legs.
Picked up some lifting chains, that were bloody hot in the sun, put them over my shoulder and
got a burn over my shoulder. Can't leave shovels or crowbars in sun or can't hold them.
Saturday morning here and I'm exhausted. Don't want to do anything.
On a positive note... Just booked a week in Thailand in November
and another week in Qld at a nice place on the Ocean at a place called Noosa.

Minus side. Had a crappy week at work dealing with d*ckheads and traffic.Woman being a pain (never,ever try and date a Lawyer). Just been and picked my stuff up from her place. Washing machine died. Plus side. Finished one of the seat hoops on my frame and I'm happy with it. Did a small turning job for somebody that got them sorted. Beer in hand. Overall. Not a bad week.  |

Minus side. (never,ever try and date a Lawyer). I'm married to one. Mine used to teach law at Uni and has sat on the board of government inquiry's and now heads the legal / compliance dept of a large corporation. A good one is VERY handy to have on your side. I've had a couple of legal issues where she soon put folk in their place, council included! Wonderful woman. |

You think I'd have the bikes, house, shed, holidays etc I have on my wages ?
I stand by the fact she's a star and after 5 years together life is only getting better.
