Day One......Late to the party.

Day One:- I'm a little bit behind everyone else...

After 11 weeks of slogging my guts out at work today is my first week of three weeks on furlough. I can't say I was not a little bit P!$$£) off when I was first told but I do also understand the decisions from a business point of view.
I guess the good part is the length of time I'm expecting to be off is relatively short compared to some of my colleagues who now have to go back at a time when work will only get busier as time goes on.
Another positive is I can have a little more freedom than what they had at the start of this and as more things open up I might even get chance to go to YWP when they open next week. I'm also going to dust off the golf clubs and spoil a good walk.

We should have been on holiday this week anyway and it always rains when we go on holiday so the weather taking a turn for the worse doesn't really bother me,  everything feels as it should be.

I'm also going to take some inspiration from some of you for these next few weeks and try and get my photography mojo back on track.
The good lady wife has just headed to the shops for ingredients as I have promised to attempt to make Bara Brith for her Birthday tomorrow. Pictures to follow no doubt.
I have been struggling to be inspired to take photos for a while now..... so rather than taking the radical step of ditching all my gear which I have been tempted to do on numerous occasions..... I had a think about what I wanted to do with my kit and I boxed up only yesterday all the stuff that has sat unused for the last 12 months and have traded it in for something that I think I may hopefully get more use from and there is a little left over in the pot I may treat myself to some vintage glass that some of you keep going on about and have a play around with that as well.

I must admit all of the above is dependent on the wife not coming up with a list of jobs to be done around the house...........good job I started with bringing flowers home yesterday.

 Rest assured that you will not slip through the net if my retired life is anything to go by!

I've been working in the office 3/4 days a week all the way through, and working from home the other days, apparently I have time to decorate, sort the garden and home school my 15 year old while i'm working from home. I'm knackered!!
