Thoughts:

Pooh, I haven't much time; work is catching up on me; at last. This week is chock-a-block full; I even have to take it home with me. No problem with that, my equipment at home has the same quality as at my office; the only thing that I don't have twice is a plotter. It's not that a second one would be too expensive my home office isn't big enough. I still need room for a settee cum guest bed (hoping that someone will visit us [He's got high hopes]).

When I arrived home today I went straight to town to have a cuppa (that's my way of winding down), instead of having a ride in the bike. After that I had two hours of toil, I had a couple of drawings that needed finishing so that I have the full day tomorrow to start a 3D drawing. I have to draw cable channels into a site drawing, not a very demanding job normally, but as the site drawing comes from another firm I have to find my way into it first; and that is demanding, every developer has a different method of constructing. That's what I get paid good money for, so who's complaining?
