Nice TAGood morning Guardians, how's everyone doing? I hope your week started well, and that you're on top of things. I always seem to be struggling these days, I had a charity event, sandwiched between work. When I came out of the charity event, I struggled to get a taxi - because I had my phone in aircraft mode!Seeing a passing bus, I ran for it - well I say 'ran'!
Is it only Tuesday?!Better crack on, no holidays here I'm afraid
Have a good day Guardians

Beautiful time of year down here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I snapped this photo out the car window as we were driving over the second bridge crossing over the Pascagoula River.

Our pup Callie is in heaven. We keep an eye out for gators at the waterline.

Had the chance to climb aboard a legendary local boat yesterday. It is a one of one custom steel hull trawler designed and built by a man named Jerry Purdy in 1975. His daughters inherited it and are fixing it up. They cruised down and around the Florida Keys in it last year.

You just reminded me I meant to call in today, to see what is happening with the appointment I requested 3 weeks agoI'm off to the doctor tomorrow to get my prescription renewed.
You take care fellersKeep the fluids up today.
For the brothers
Extreme heat warning for most of New south Wales and of course full fire ban.
Perfect!

I've not had a great day today, not least unexpectedly re-doing someone's abysmal workTheir boss's thank you was underwhelming, so it'll be the last time I do him a favour
More work tomorrow, and probably the same throughout the week, but for a different outfit at least. I'm sure we've all worked with/for total incompetents, who earn a good wage regardless
Think I'm going to carry my Hartshead Barlow tomorrow
