    What do you do for work

    There are all sorts of jobs out there , but its down to each of us to try to find the best one for our needs, plus if the pay is good it helps.
    But what a job this man has.

    Today I was being taught how to drive a forklift.

    Had my forklift refresher course at work. 2 hours in the class, 4 hours on the forklift.

    Or should I say, 2 hours in the class. 3 hours talking football, tinder, women and Refereeing !!!! Then 1 hour on the forklift. Even got half hour overtime.

    And I bet you still drive it the way you know how, not the way they want you to do.

    Michael, I like to keep active and busy but the downside is not only does time seem to fly past so quickly but I also haven't yet been able to give a priority to my photography, my painting and my cycling.

    Can't believe it's now March 2017

    Seems that the older you get the faster time passes.

    Peter I was a budding artist at school mainly with a pencil, and with the camera and the bike, I think I should get over ASAP, to give you a break from all the other work,
    This is where many of us could do with a mate, just like the school days where you had a best friend.

    correctamundo

    Hurry along young man

    The husband of one of my wifes pals recently returned/retired after 33 years as an OFW in Saudi
    He's a very nice chap, very well exposed to different cultures and very helpful too. He lives just a few doors down from us.
    He'll be one of those in our party going to Caramoan.

    He's been working with many Brits in Saudi.
    What a different outlook such people have.....

    He's my back up in case you don't make it here
