whiteracer 258 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 U get used to being tired, been on nights for three years. Weekends and holidays are a bitch as I stay on nocturnal time. Spot on, been working nights now for 15 years and STILL havnt got my body clock right! The thing I hate is getting up at 5pm and the wife sticks a dinner in front of you and wonders why you don't fancy a roast!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Morning, lads! Well, yesterday, I was up at 08:00 and put in such a full days work, I all but did myself out of projects! Now, I'm just 'reading the papers' over a mug or two of tea. Then I must crack on! Ton of wood slats to cut and undercoat. 'So what?' ye say? So, how about until a couple of days ago, I didn't crawl out of my pit till 14:00!!! Now, I've got some birds traps out and am itching to measure that timber. Full day ahead of me and it feels f**king great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Suzy Ross 236 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 How can anyone who hunts hate the winter? I love a nice frosty breathy morning, f***ing great. I'd have 10 of them to a summer morning. I like summer too, but winter is more exciting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
