Driving Long Distances – Some Advice.

So we have just returned from France driving from Lancaster, England, down to Dover. From Calais we drove across to Brittany. Ten days driving around then back the way we came.

1604 miles later.

All very pleasant and a fantastic family holiday was had.

However, a day later on returning home I woke up with excruciatingly pain in my right upper arm.

I mean I could hardly lift my arm and when I did it screamed in agony.

Thinking I had slept on it funny I thought it would just settle. Oh no has it hell.

Then it dawned on me. I had spent the majority of the drive with my right arm rested on the window frame of the car door, the position of which was just above horizontal.

So my advice to anyone on a long drive who has a tendency to rest their arm on the door. Bloody well don’t – it sodden well hurts – eventually.

Lesson learned.

First Day Blues

Following nearly three weeks off work on my meanders it was time to head back this morning. Jeez what I wouldn’t give to either rewind to three weeks ago or better still fast forward a year then I wouldn’t have to.

Emails, lots and lots of meaningless emails. I remember back when we didn’t have email. I can honestly say that after three weeks off I wouldn’t have come back to hundreds of little messages left on my desk. So why on earth do have so many bloody emails. Of the hundreds I had to go through only about three had any relevance.

Also, who the bloody hell has pinched my coffee mug!

Aggghhh. Give me strength.
