Leave: Fake Holidays

I start my break officially on Tues - however due to pressing deadlines I will likely start during next week.

Just looking at the surf report - I better work hard and get everything off my desk - as Thursday forecast is for a big swell and offshore winds in the morning.

We are having "fake holidays"...a little more eating out - but staying at home to save accomodation and fare money. A few movies, waterslides, beach - maybe even some scuba diving it the weather permits and I can get a leave pass.

A mate of mine is a chalkie who loves his surfing and diving (he is a gun at catching crays...but its not cray season). Its also a good time t catch up on reading and planning.

Other non-stuff that needs doing over break:
1) "Family Plan" (sounds corny I know) - redo family budget in light of higer interest rates
2) Paint fences (H)
3) Remove all rubbish from yard (M)
4) Put up bike rack in garage (M)
5) Build work bench in garage (L)
6) Refit Chopping Block in kitchen (H)
7) Organise limestone retaining wall (H)

H = High Priority and I will be hung, dried and quartered if tasks not accomplished.
