Trading Skills and Using Time

I woke up this morning at about 5am with Jaspers foot sitting on my face, no covers on, cold and with a sort throat ..... not a nice way to start the day however after a nice hot bath and a cup of tea, warm clothes on and sheepskin boots I felt somewhat human again.

With work outside continuing on the garden, I decided to start my business work day at 6am and get 3 hours of thinking done before 9am so that I would have some breathing space when Peter arrived. By the time he got here I had finished my planning of a 2 day sales handover discussion that captured the flavour of what I wanted to pass on to my collegue.

So... my mission was to cut the 6 x 2.4m posts into 12 precice halves and then cut wooden stakes to hold them in place while concrete would be poured around them to form the strong wall between the garden and the house. That done, I was back inside and continuing my work through until 11.30 when I had a call from Lindy, our neighbour and also our lawyer who needed some help unloading about 50 hay bales....well I would go to the end of the world and back for Lindy, so I threw on my rigging gloves and was over there helping to achieve that in about half an hour flat, covered in sweat and feeling pretty good......

Now... back to work before we have a beautiful lunch outside of smoked trout, salad and fresh bread...... love that!
