Not a good night. I retired to bed at 10.30 but I was up at 11-50, 12-55, 2.15, 3-40 and then 7.35 when I made myself a cuppa and went back to bed - again.
Why? You might ask - my almost six years old had a huge 'die-or-ee-a' problem. He did come back after about 20/30 minutes each time so I had to get up again to let him in. :rolleyes: I have now made my cuppa and gone back to mi' pit, 'e is now in 'is bed trying to catch up on 'is lost kip. :rolleyes:
I am of the belief that its cause is nothing to do with what he had eaten - nothing had been changed - but the sheer excitement of welcoming my gardener who called in late-afternoon to say hello, he had not seen him for about a month (rain, snow and ice had stopped 'play'), he was ecstatic when he saw him, running round the garden and house carrying different toys in his mouth, squeaking them as he went, just like a puppy and wouldn't let him out of his sight!
Today will now be spent trying to catch up on my lost sleep.
 
Is my eleventh anniversary at this job today. 38 years done in all.. :eek:
Congratulations! :D
How many more to do before you say "Enough, thanks, but I am offski"? :)
Back in the day jobs were usually "for life" unless you screwed up.
When I worked for IBM in the 70's you got a Mappin & Webb Carriage clock for 10 years of service, and in the US if you had a child they sent a little silver spoon for the baby, I got one when my son was born when we lived there while I was working in California.

Will take a look in ten years if I can keep going.:D
