So far Monday and Tuesday both quiet. Roughly half a days work each. One of us is doing some pregnancy diagnosis in some cows and the other operating on a cow with a displaced stomach.

Quite quiet but this is traditionally our quietest time of year. It's also Yorkshire Show week that takes a number of our farmers out of the area.

Hope vets can join in with your thread :D

At the moment VERY!B-)

I generally try to avoid working weekends....

need time to myself & family...

But working 5days per week & weekends at the moment..

worked till 7:00pm tonight!

Mostly "NEW" customers as well,

which is always good.

I am part way though a small industrial unit / with new offices

for a company that has to be out of their old premiss's by the end of the month!

Installing:-

New sockets, Lights, Intruder Alarm, Telephone points, Data between offices, Door intercom, Ventilation from 3 offices & kitchen, operated whilst persons are in one of the offices. Additional control for roller shutter security doors..

I have keys for the unit so I keep dipping back in there between other jobs..

Just finished a New CU & bonding & kitchen lights day & half.

Tomorrow I start another new CU & Bonding & full kitchen refurb!

So I cannot complain at the moment... ;) :)B-)

 
Makes me think of Ambrosia Custard :D Devon knows how they make it so creamy..........

Will ask my brother when I see him he's lived down that way for a few years. I am looking forward to having a bit of free time with no work.

 
Have a great time..........................

But leave the van in the lay by with kettle & cake ready & waiting...

Put the keys in that Wago box tucked up behind the rear wheel arch ...

so I can still have my tea & cake!Blushing] :)

The week is never right without Tea & Cake on Mondays! :p :x :xApplaud Smiley
