^I did that this morning, sometimes a couple of hours on a Sunday can really make the difference of not putting you under the cosh on a Monday when you arrive all hungover with two different continents already three quarters of their way through the working day.

Highly recommend that too, that breaks the feeling of I've  been off two weeks and now I am going back to work work not knowing what I am facing.

Another good one I find, is to return to work on a Friday, that takes the edge off it, as the weekend eases you back in.

It wasn't so bad.  Now I'm back sipping my late coffee.

That's awfully decent of you Woolie.. Yes, This time of year and onwards is great for slapheads like meself as we can get busy on the hat front...Stetson in particular do some amazing bits these days..
I'm starting to see Paraboots in the same vein as Red Wings tbh...I personally think they work well in the same vein for my wardobe...
Contemplating some PB Michaels seriously now after years of being hot n cold about them...think they suit a bloke of my age too...
