Doss day with the kids. Apart from when they decided to play Street Fighter. Then I watch Interstellar. Had builders doing the front garden so I can park the bikes up. They've done a decent job, just a couple of things to be tidied up.

Quick blast on the bike this morning whilst wife and kids at church. Then a family fun afternoon out on push bikes and a nice roast dinner later on and watch BSB qualifying. Happy days, the simply things in life are always the best IMO (lol)

First day back after 4 days off for the bank holiday. Wishing I hadn't even bothered. Yet again another person has gone sick so once again down 2 men. Havent had a full team for good couple months now. The guy who's gone sick has been talking about going sick for ages because he's tired due to do I g extra work because very few are in. However what he doesn't know is he thinks he'll get paid for it (sick is paid here) but because it's straight after a holiday (bank holiday) that is now void. I wasn't aware it included bank holidays however I realise this is true for after a planned holiday. Clearly this guy isn't aware as well that this is inclusive of bank holidays.

Serves him right to be honest gets no love from me haha!!

Well I didn't know that. Every day is a school day.

Although I can see the reason for such policy it does penalise people who are sick whilst on holiday. Personally if I was sick on holiday I would phonenwork cancel the holiday and go on sick leave with a doctors note.

Saying that I have not had a single day sick for at least 15 years.

Taking the kids to a local petting farm and stables. There some duck ponds, a park and a cafe too. As its walking distance from house down the back lane it will kill an afternoon easily.

Sounds good Blade.

I've had a shed load of papers come in on a very old case but we've only recently been instructed. Looks like I've got a lot of running around to do.

I was looking at those flights. If these are the same we could maybe look to sort something out together regarding transport from/to the airport?
