Monday Is Here Again

[debris4spike]

As I said, I went to Coleton Fishacre last friday .... and here are some photos
















I just love these bathroom tiles





The gardens lead down to the sea -



Autumn is here -








The weekend went well - grave cleaning is certainly a full body workout! And it looks as if that is something I can, and will, be doing quite regularily. Church was also good ... so nice to be in the building, and seeing others.

Work today went OK, with some nice patients, so a good way to start the week (but does that mean that it will be downhill from now!!)

I had aimed to walk to do some shopping now, but it's chucking it down with rain, so am here first, and then there later. Even if the rain continues I will still go because I am running out of milk, and can't start tomorrow without my cuppas!

Oh well, before I do some other things, including posting another prompt for photo_scavenger, I will close with this -



18. What’s something about adult life you were never warned of or prepared for?
I think the one thing I hadn't thought about is that of not having long holidays off work ... why don't we get the 6 weeks summer break as well?

That’s a very Art Deco interior! I do like how they dress houses/museums.

True - I loved how they had done this main bedroom ... as if the couple had just gone down to breakfast

18: Because ... capitalism? How are Bezos and Musk and Branson going to compare the size of their penis-substitutes if we're getting a decent amount of holidays?

The annoying thing is that most politicians manage to get their long holidays though 😕

Very true.

That looks like another lovely spot - an I love those tiles (and the view!) a lot too.

I realised, when I retired, that the only break of more than 2 weeks in my entire working career was when I wan on maternity leave - which was no holiday!

The tiles are great, aren't they .... they have a wide selection of country sports (hunting & fishing)

Although I am self-employed I still only take the time off that I specifically need away from work. I should take more!

Isn't sick time and holiday (vacation) time required in the UK? In the US it's not! We rely on the generosity of our employers. (This one and the one before last were good in that area. The interim job - which was a temporary job - was not. They didn't even pay for actual holidays when most officers were closed unless you met some pretty stringent criteria.) But I agree with you - why don't we get 6 weeks off in the summer?

i am self-employed which confuses things even further! My brother gets about 5 weeks over all, but really never seems enough for him.

But lets try to get 6 weeks off for the summer... to add to a couple of weeks at Christmas/New Year, of course

Looks like a great trip and the hotel (?) looks absolutely wonderful!

There are some beautiful places around, aren't there?
