Gone in 2880 minutes...

It's 5pm Friday 11th January here and you know what that means...Yep, my weekend has arrived! Well, to be honest, I left work 2 hours ago as I had a few things to do so my weekend started two hours ago, but you get the point right?

It's the end of my first week back to work for the new year and to be honest I was a lot busier than I expected to be. I had several fairly complex meetings, on-boarded three great new clients and got the team set up for what's looking like being a really interesting year. Having said all of that, I'm glad it's over so now I can focus on more important things: The weekend.

My mother in-law had another round of chemotherapy on Thursday so it's likely she won't be feeling very well this weekend so we are on stand-by however still have a couple of things planned nonetheless; None of which take us too far away from home for obvious reasons. We've been looking at, and deliberating, some new plans and strategies to take us forward into 2019 and beyond lately although this weekend we will shelve all that and simply hang out together, walk on the beach and relax.

Oh, we have a 40th to attend on Saturday night but it's going to be a fairly casual thing so should be fun. It's being held at a lawn bowls club (seriously) and guests get to play lawn bowls, shoot pool and lark about I guess. I'm looking forward to cake and am sure I'll enjoy a beverage or two. 😇

There's 2880 minutes in two days, the time span of a traditional weekend and whilst we'll spend some of those minutes sleeping we'll also wring the best out of the weekend that we possibly can. Getting the best from it doesn't always mean having huge plans, going places or doing activities though; It sometimes means just being together, doing simple things and enjoying each other's company. We'll do a bit of both this weekend.

I hope you guys all have something great planned and get the most from the weekend also. I think it's important to get the best out of every day of course, I mean, days don't come back around right? But for me, after working weekends for some 16 years straight, the weekends are a little more special than weekdays. Get the most out of yours as I will be doing that with mine!

Enjoy.
