I just knew it would happen

It's now turned mild and it's currently hammering down with rain.So here's the plan,get some bait from the freezer and start baiting a barbel swim that I couldn't get to at all last winter because of the floods. Just on the way to the freezer this p.m. to get the bait and the phone goes to tell me I've got to go back to work (been on holiday since 20.12.01)is that a bummer or what ?
Yes I know it's a long holiday but I don't get paid for it.

I'll be thinking of you when I'm sat on the river Tuesday PM.

If you want John, I'll keep the swim warm for you.

Wot a really nice bloke....;o}~

The wife tells me I've actually been off work since 14.12.01.
I didn't expect a lot of sympathy , I just needed to get it off my chest.
