A few days off

I'll be back soon! I've been working quite hard the last few days and am now feeling a li'l bit run down (it doesn't help that Felix the cat has been unhappy after having to have an operation, and has had to be kept inside ... and as a result is keeping us awake a lot of the time).

Okay, today I need a restful day. Will leave y'all to talk among yourselves.

Run down is not good... though I am fortunate to be able to do this. I do take what is called a full day off - 24 hours of doing basically nothing.

Yes, this includes not doing the deadline stuff, but I have found I can quickly make up time when I am feeling strong.

No t so much advice Russell, just a point that has served me well for 10 years now

Actually, it's probably good advice. I should have done that today.

Well, Rev.

I might not be the kind of Christian you think I am. I have an equally difficult time with Christians who hold the bible up as the word of God. This would be an issue for such a site I'm afraid.

I will of course take a look, but I dare say I might be in just as much disagreeance here as I am with Fundamentalist Atheists

My recent experience with a Google account illustrates just what I was mentioning the other day.

I registered for a Google account and then drafted a brilliant and profound response to Robert Stephenson on the other thread, only to have Google fail to recognise my password five times. When I finally got back in I had lost all the amazing thoughts I had drafted, and so gave up in disgust.

So, back to anonymity for the time being.

Bum - I like brilliant and profound, but I never see it in myself and after all these years it is not one of my strivings.

Look forward to seeing the post though
