The Work/Life Balance

 Today there has been cause for celebration....My Work/Life Balance is about to tip a little more in my favour. I have just completed my last 5 day week!
 After 42 years and the approach of my 60th birthday, I have taken the decision to reduce my working week to 4 days.
 Due to the industry I've been employed in I have rarely had 2 days off together, other than Bank Holidays and annual leave. This with other personal events has had a "wearing down" effect over the last couple of years......So time for a change!
 I will now have a "weekend" midweek....every week! Plus Sundays of course. I hope to benefit from this more pronounced "rest" (although my legs and lungs may not agree) every week.
 The opportunity for more trips to unclimbed hills and unvisited places beckons :-)
