      The badgers are now putting on the jumpers that were being used as goalposts that they moved last week.

          You can kick start your fitness regime again.

          You can get through a DVD box set in a week.

          My ex-landlady gave me a battered 1st book of the Game of Thrones, I had to get the 1st & 2nd season.
          Keep the bench warm. I'll be needing it at some point between today and early December. Someone has realised that it may not matter how Agile the project is...

            It would appear we are of the same mind.
            I've been on the bench for a couple of weeks now and am frankly enjoying it
            My family is loving all the home baking I'm doing and the house is slowly becoming more organised.
            My daughter is dragging me to the gym twice a week and I'm watching the whole of Criminal Minds on Netflix.

            I am in need of the rest as I was very ill last July and had to take 5 weeks off - clientco were happy to wait for me to get better, but i still returned to work a couple of weeks earlier than I should have, so this time off is very welcome.
            I've had a couple of calls about things, but I shall start looking properly this week.
            I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

              why have I got a picture in my head of Cojak in sweatpants cuddling her beer?

              Enjoy the benchtime, I have a load of beer to brew for Christmas.

                Yes, if I get benched this week, brewing will be the first activity. And it's getting on for sloe season as well.

                    The business task of renaming my company and getting that new theme on the new company website.

                    The brewing is penciled in for this afternoon
