Good Morning.

Maybe you could get the company to employ an assistant for you, to handle and vet your emails so you only get important ones, and they reply on your behalf for the straight forward ones.

Raining this morning, so at least it is not frosty. Expect it is falling as snow on higher ground.

Lol .. It's just really busy and does not help having to do the branch trips, I logged out at lunchtime Monday and on Wednesday morning had over a hundred e mails to deal with, you kind of feel like you daren't have a day off let alone a week!

Afternoon on the cold day.
Sorry to hear you are way too busy 2G. It is nice to be busy but there is a limit when it stops being enjoyable and you start being really inefficient and less productive making it even worse.

Sorry to hear that work is building up But only one and a half days to the week end. Who or what is causing the problem and won't they go away. Think good thoughts then stick the pins in to the doll.

Morning

Lol rovi, I wonder what delights wok will bring today, I've got it all going on at the moment and despite my plan being to stay on for a year or two once my pension starts I won't do it if it's as busy as it is right now

I have been busy transferring files again this evening to new computer. Going to stop now and finish it tomorrow so I do not get brain fade. I am almost done setting up the computer for the SECOND time.

Went to Montrose this afternoon for a drive and get a walk there. It was way too bitter cold walking so we ended up going into shops to warm up. Met a nice chap who also has travelled a lot of Europe so was nice discussing places we had been and getting ideas for new places.

Not yet I hope rovi, good point though

It's funny really my mates and their wives know more about us through chats over a pint and a g & t than our children and gran kids. I guess our history dies with us.

Evening

I got back this afternoon from Canterbury, it started cold but the sun was shining so I didn't get wet, i am too old for this lark though, I laid down on the couch and went out like a light, hope I can sleep tonight

Dentists and prisons, interesting chat at the bar

[jonjonck] 06/2/2024 17:36

Oh gosh it was bitter cold out this afternoon.

[jonjonck] 06/2/2024 08:42

Good Morning.
5 degrees and cloudy but looks like we might get glimpses of sunshine today.

[gateside] 05/2/2024 21:14

Dentist today with the Gorgeous Gillian :)Back again in March for more!

[jonjonck] 05/2/2024 16:19

Canterbury is a nice place. I have been there but a long time ago. Bit of a slow drive for you getting around London though.

[2gekko] 05/2/2024 11:53

I'm off to Canterbury soon for overnight stay ready for an early start in the morning doing vehicle inspections, hope the rain holds off!

[jonjonck] 05/2/2024 10:59

Very annoying indeed.

Good Morning. Hoping today would be nicer as just want to get out for the day and clear my head.

[jonjonck] 05/2/2024 00:54

Disaster tonight....I crashed my new computer with same fault as old computer.
It was when I copied across some software and tried to load it. Really fed up over this. I have managed to go back to factory settings and now have to start all over.
I love this job so much I do it twice!!!!

Anyway it has given me a pointer as to what might be wrong with the old computer.... certain software package.... quite an old version of Photoshop.

I've got flower buds coming up already, seems early

[rovi70] 04/2/2024 11:20

Good morning. Sunny day still and 14 degrees so is been gardening time. Coffee and Disaronno then back to pruning weeding and moving some young rose bushes.

[jonjonck] 04/2/2024 11:17

Good Morning.
Sound like you and A are getting along just dandy.
I was up again into the early hours setting up more on the computer. So so so so much easier when transferring stuff from a functioning computer.

Anyway. Hooray! My emails are all working again the way I like them. Spent countless hours setting them up the way I like.

So today as my brain is absolutely frazzled we have put on the slow cooker for dinner tonight and will go out somewhere nice for a drive and walk. ..no matter what the weather does...cloudy at the moment. Go find a nice place for lunch. Maybe the Clattering Brig at the bottom of the Cairn'o'mount pass but expect it will be very busy.
