Wow! Sunshine...isn’t it fabulous! And doesn’t it spread such a fantastic vibe....
Good old UK is pretty gloomy weather wise most of the time and so I guess we hanker after sun more than most – but it really does make you feel better doesn’t it? Today I have had the pleasure of actually being out in the glorious weather instead of admiring from a desk and the mood is high...and so I believe that transmutes into improved performance...because mood and performance are so closely linked...and that made me think...are hotter climates richer because of this feeling better making production higher? Does Spanish sunshine make Spain more productive and wealthy? If France is bathed in more rays, then are they graced too with more wealth? But then how come African continents and South America and then again most of the ‘developing world’ is actually bathed in sunshine and poorer!! How does that happen?!! Maybe then we in England work harder because the weather is so pants every time! Maybe the rain and the cold drive us indoors and drive us to work and so maybe we are better off??
And frankly I am now so confused I am going to drink a hot British tea and sit in my cool air conditioned car and ponder the impact of climate change on the chances of motorcycling in the dry more often actually being a benefit!!

So, here is the world as I see it today...bloomin mad! I love life and the challenge of work and all of that, but I sometimes hate the crap that goes with human nature. Employing people that just don’t do what you ideally like... I know that we are all different but I am prone3 to moaning about a poor attitude. I sadly just believe that it is about attitude... a keenness to work, a desire to just do everything you can to get the job done...a desire to do your very best and if in doubt ask for help or guidance...I mean just simple things!!! But it isn’t common. It is more common for employee mentality fuelled by this pathetic government driven culture of apportioning blame somewhere else... and working to a rule ... and working as though you are always on the defensive against ‘tyranny’ of employer abuse ....
Anyway by the same token I love life and love people and know that someday I am a pain in the proverbial! I know that at times in my past I was possibly a cause of challenge for my employer....and I know that what goes around comes around...so it’s just a little moan!
Rising to the challenge of life, wining when it feels like you shouldn’t...that is why I get up everyday with bounce and look forward to the day...as I am today. Bring it on Life!
