    sattiday one five

    morn all how are yizall today ?seasons are def on the change over here ..after the rain of yesterday ..the sun is cracking the flags today..but it has got that autumnal feel to it...also Sandy is moulting like mad ..she is starting to get her winter coat..theres enough fur knocking about here to make a Davey Crockett hat!!early doors out tomorrow... right lets get the show on the road then.....brew time

    Hiya Sam the man...hows you then?did you manage to save the feed on the truck?I went into the garage the other night ..and in one of the cupboards I keep the wabbits food..lo and behold ..theres a little field mouse sitting having a party to itself..I never said anything ..madam would have gone spare!!!

    mornin Lav...whats that weed you plant for the flutterbies? I might have to plant some next year if I want to grow brassicas..so did the contingent come over?brew required?have a great day....

    hiya pauly....hows you today then?you feelin any better?did you have your grilled beef .....and fried onions and mushroom and tomatoes and egg sunnyside up and chips ..drool!!!never heard of coconut in coffee ..is it oil or milk?

    hiya pie...yep the timer is set for my hair too...ha only its a calendar!!!!hows you today then? hows doggy world?

    hiy bear what a brill start to your post yesterday!!!...it's also nice to put on hair as treatment...need to try that ....putting on hair that is!! just reading your post...calm down bear...your gettin all worked up there......slow that brain down a bit....agreed doctor for a health check...diet ..yeh have a look at it ..but..have you ever had your blood sugars checked could be something like that maybe...
    too many things half done?..write them all down in a list and focus on them 1 at a time.....

    again your post......It's a backlog of work pressure,worrying about implications of person off sick with stress in my team and impending capability procedure,other person getting behind on their work due to excess sick and am I leading and being a positive manager,completing my objectives.

    in my opinion...you have got that the wrong way round..do you honestly think that the person with the capability hearing and the one off sick give a rats ass whether you complete your objectives or not? A positive manager?only my definition now

    leads by example, can be a team player when required,can make strategic decisions ,think outside the box(hate that phrase) challenges poor performance,empathises ,but does not let it affect the objectives..communicates well with others ..gives praise when due but will also challenge negative behaviour..these are a few off the top of my head ..(nowt else on it!!) as a team you should be saying to your boss ...look we have completed those objectives..when the sh.t hits the fan,all of a sudden there is no we in team ..it is spelt with an I !! BIG HUG,BIG SMILE MOVE ON ...:hug:

    PPQP..whats with the procrastinating word?is this a Canadian thingy??pie came out with that the other day..after she had a friend from your neck o the woods!!how are you doing?..yep hopefully Sunday will be dry ..(ish ) not too dry tho...are you at your dads this weekend?

    hiya SF..hows you? feelin not so draggy?have you got into a routine yet?I love early morning..so peaceful..before humans get up and screw up creation!!!

    hey det and ns ..how are you both? hopefully well..

    folks for the offski..bbear you need any help ..just ask ..u no where I am

    My girlfriend bought a home waxing kit the other day. She asked me if she should just do the sides or leave a strip down the middle. I said I would prefer it if she didn't have a moustache at all.

    I have just got my exam results and thought I might take a gap year.

    I decided on a tour to experience different cultures, Eastern and central European then African and the Middle Eastern regions etc.

    So I've booked a £7.00 ticket on Megabus to London, day return.

    To prove to the wife I could be a responsible parent, I volunteered to babysit our four year old while she had a night at bingo. When she returned she was quizzing me like mad..

    "Did you put him to bed by eight?"

    "Yes."

    "Did you give him supper?"

    "Yes."

    "Did he finish it all and drink his cup of milk?"

    "Yes."

    "Did you take him to the toilet before bed?"

    "Yes."

    "Did you help him brush his teeth properly?"

    *sigh* "Yes."

    "Even his bottom teeth?"


    "Oh , no, sorry love." I said. "To be honest, I didn't know there was any up there."

    I recently invested in a tennis ball production company.

    They have a high rate of return.


    A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "If I show you a really good trick, will you give me a free drink?" The bartender considers it, then agrees. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues.

    After the man finished his drink, he asked the bartender, "If I show you an even better trick, will you give me free drinks for the rest of the evening?" The bartender agrees, thinking that no trick could possibly be better than the first. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues. The man reaches into another pocket and pulls out a small bullfrog, who begins to sing along with the rat's music.

    While the man is enjoying his beverages, a stranger confronts him and offers him $100,000.00 for the bullfrog. "Sorry," the man replies, "he's not for sale." The stranger increases the offer to $250,000.00 cash up front. "No," he insists, "he's not for sale." The stranger again increases the offer, this time to $500,000.00 cash. The man finally agrees, and turns the frog over to the stranger in exchange for the money.

    "Are you insane?" the bartender demanded. "That frog could have been worth millions to you, and you let him go for a mere $500,000!" "Don't worry about it." the man answered. "The frog was really nothing special. You see, the rat's a ventriloquist."

    Good Saturday morning Abbers

    Hot & sunny is the word here for the coming week aka heat wave #4, ugh.
    This is always where I get into wishing my life away, I just don't like the extreme heat.

    Thanks for the coffee Mick, keep it coming! I seem to have zero natural energy so far today, ha ha.
    I always find a few monarch butterfly caterpillars hanging out in my herb garden although they are only supposed to feed on milkweed. You have to plant a variety that is natural to your area. http://www.nwf.org/Pollinators/Monar...Resources.aspx
    I am going to get some very soon

    Greetings to the whole crew & wishing everyone a wonderful AF day!
    I have no specific plans for the day - will see what happens

      morning,super lazy day today,friends stayed over after curry last night and we had lovey long chat over brekkie.

      Just had a lie down and I'm now up ready to read my book,drink tea and hang out with the cat.
      I may watch a netflix film later,may plan food for the week.That's about it,and I may have a shower.
      Tomorrow is busier - fave gym class,eyebrow threading and maybe cooking some food for dinners- not a bad pace though.I also have 2 days off next week

      Thanks Mick - doc was running v late so blood test next week,sure it's fine just a precaution for me - made a decision to put off work training for another year - with two struggling staff members,HR procedures and trying to get the team achieving I think any spare time needs to be spent on ME - relaxing,looking after myself,having fun enjoying my life and making my home a nicer place to be.

      My manager is very supportive,it's my team that aren't achieving anything and I need to handle that - and I am - it's just a long stressful process. My boss said many managrs would have turned a blind eye and walked away - and I haven't.
      I know I'm doing the right thing - it's just hard sometimes and draining sometimes.My cat is also shedding fur like no one's business!

      I think the serenity prayer is a very good idea for me right now

      The positive of all this is that I am sober,not smoking and giving myself a chilled out weekend and letting myself just 'be'.

      Happy Saturday everyone
      one day at a time

          morning all
          Mick, the rat and mouse joke is right up my alley, love it. feed looked worse than it was, able to salvage most of it. I think, judging by the tears in the bags, it was a bear. Sounds more dramatic, I like it.

          Morning Lav, yep I heard it suppose to be hot next week, we are dry, too. Our baby chicks have gotten into their teenage look, hanging out and not being productive yet but looking old enough and constantly eating. If one whips out a cell phone I'll be looking for the rat and the piano!

          Pauly, how goes the non cigs? Good for you. My wife finally quit this past month!!! She smoked for 40 some years, so it can be done.

          PQ, getting cooler your way? We doomed to get hotter next week. Can't remember, you were having car problems with new car?

          Det, what out west adventure you got going this weekend?

          Pie, how you doing? projects??

          Bear, hope your day goes smoothly and restful. The serenity prayer is a good focus. I enjoyed the daily meditations that were on line not long ago. (Deepak's manifesting grace). Believe Det mentioned it awhile ago. Great way to start a day. I agree with Mick, early morning is the best!

          greetings SF!! hope you are well


          lawn chores today, off to the races....

            MAE ALL....Celebrating 3 years AF today. :yay:

            Mick...thanks for kicking us off. Indoor visit with Dad today as it started raining last night and hasn't quit. No need to water the garden so the rest of my day is free. Good luck with your early out tomorrow.

            Lav...hope the no specific plans doesn't turn out to kid watching. Enjoy.

            Bear...good on you for just chilling. I gotta say that it sounds like you're doing all the right things when dealing with the work issues. Glad to hear your manager is so supportive, that's got to help a lot.

            Pauly...quick hi to you. Hope your day is a good one.

            Sam...yeah let's go with the bear story. LOL Baby chicks in teenage look :harhar: Car recall (software upgrade) accomplished so all's right in my world again.

            Gotten in to cream cheese and smoked salmon on bagels so must be off to make lunch. Will check back later.....:smile:PPQP
