I'm off to Turkey early doors tomorrow. My Mum thinks I'm heading over there to look after her. I'm really going to escape the dust. I'm also in the midst of negotiating a contract with an organisation based in Bonn. The perfect contact for someone who is also in the middle of a house project - just 7 days a month working from home. The only dilemma is that my 'office' is currently a dusty desk in a corner of the lounge. On the contract negations - the only reason I am negotiating at all (I'm more than happy with the working arrangements, services required and rate) is to ensure compliance with the HMRC rules. They DO NOT make it easy and it could mean I can't take the contract. The main 'touchy' point is the right for me to provide a substitute should the need arise. The organisation have clearly stated this is a 'no-no' whereas for me to be compliant it has to be included in the contract as an option - however unlikely it is to happen. Fingers crossed it all goes through. On a complete different topic; one of the hens decided to get broody - stopped laying, refused to get out of the nest box and started growling. After searching the web for a solution I dunked her rear end in a cool water bath. To be honest...however ludicrous it sounds, it seems to have worked. Today she seems back to normal, has provided an egg and didn't try to kill me when I went to collect it. Now she's back scurrying around the garden, wrecking the borders and mooching around the workshop. Stu's a busy bee today using some tools I've never seen before (it's a bit like a woman wearing a new dress... "I've had it for years love") Rubble heavily disguised as sheep food Nanan the eggsplorer hiding in the workshop
