So there I was, in the office, baking hot day and only 5 minutes to go before lunch. And as you may know from my previous blog, lunch is not just a time to stuff my face with scrummy sandwiches, but my chance to stretch my legs on Dolbury hill.

Anyway, I made the rookie mistake of answering the phone just as I was about to leave. After a 25 minute conversation with the customer, I started on the quote I had just promised he could have back within the hour, curses!

Fifty five minutes later my duty was done and the quote was hurtling across cyberspace to my expectant customer.

Right, time to get some fresh air. (And look forward to a very short afternoon)

As I walked up the track, my reward for this tireless dedication to my job ran across the path in front of me. The little fella in the picture is a juvenile Field Mouse and if I hadn’t been delayed by the urgent quote I would never have got this great shot.

So there you go, when things don’t go quite as you expected, just look forward to the good things that will happen as a result!

Thought I would tidy up production a bit after a hectic day and moved the trolley loaded with grub screws  just a fraction to sweep the floor.  Big mistake, it fell over and they spilled out of their neat little compartments onto the floor in a big heap.  When I started managing production in January I didn’t know one end of a grub screw from the other.  Well, I certainly do now and I will be sorting them back into their little compartments from now until Christmas!  Sue. 

Just finished repainting our saw room with anti-slip paint, been a bit smelly for a few days, but hopefully will avoid the hazard of slipping for the guys on the saw. New extractors to be fitted shortly.  Sun glasses will have to be compulsory to work in room!!

Sue has now got the enviable task of putting everything back and making it easier to work in the area. We have put the saw as far away from the powder coating area as possible, to eliminate any cross-contamination.
