Phew….

     Well after the last few months tribulations I am finally able to draw a breath. My family (or lack of a family) issues are kind of behind me now, though certainly not forgotten and still festering within me with an internal anger that I think would be unwise to allow out as the damage caused would perhaps be irreversible. The gardening side of work has been extremely full on, especially with the unseasonably dry weather we’ve experienced over the last couple of months. The machine servicing and repair side of work has ticked over reasonably but has had to take a back seat somewhat to the gardening, as has household chores and improvements. To be honest I am absolutely bloody knackered, what with the amount of work I’ve taken on of late and with some health issues that I am currently struggling to cope with. On the other hand, for the first time in a millennium the bank balance is looking healthy although this is going to take a kicking this week as the work beast of burden (the frog van) is in dry dock for some prospectively expensive repair work. There always seems to be something to snatch the money from my arse pocket just when I think I might actually make a true success from my business, I guess at my age I should bloody well know better!

     But tis not all doom and gloom because I am scribbling this first post in a long time from sunny Cornwall on the first full day of our two week (yep that’s two weeks) holiday, hence the ‘phew’ title. Yes it’s two weeks without pay but the prospect of time for myself and the wonderful G to have a reset and for my worn out body to recover somewhat has been a long time coming and cannot have a price put on it. 

     I’ll leave you with a picture of the view from where we enjoyed brunch this morning and hopefully it won’t be such a long time until the next post….
