Away (but not with the fairies)
Holidays are a NEEDED commodity - but when can you fit them in?
It’s true, in a small business, that you NEED to get away from time to time – the problem comes when you ask yourself the question:
“When would be a good time?”
The answer is simply – any time is a bad time, so just go! – with the caveat that you need to give a little more notice than usual.
In our business, i.e. one in which you cannot predict EXACTLY what you will be doing from day to day, you just need to take the holidays when you can. I tend to avoid the ‘popular’ times to be away (this has nothing to do with the fact that it saves me vast amounts of money not going away at peak time – how could you think me so cheap? 
). Then I give lots of notice, and make provisions for cover in case of emergencies.
Today was a case in point – it took approximately 38 minutes before the phone rang with an insurmountable problem. It took a further few minutes to sort out, but could have meant a panic visit to York. I LOVE remote technology, I got a technician to dial in and sort the problems – Job done :)
I planned to spend the first chunk of the holiday sorting jobs around the house before going away later in the week.
I got everything out I needed for a extravaganza of lawn mowing activity – grasped the handles of the mower ready to stride out into the jungle my garden has become, just as the heavens open
Sigh…
Packs stuff away and cleans the kitchen instead…
I LOVE THE BRITISH WEATHER! :evil:
P.S.
I repatriated 2 of our baby fishes into the adult tank at the weekend – parents and babies doing well
