so here i am, sitting at my desk in an empty house, music blasting from the PC,belly full of lunch (all patients gone out to do various activities in the community and i sent the support worker out for a 2hour lunch break in the sun) and i've got the patio doors open in my office allowing fresh air in.

its a stunningly beautiful day, the suns burning down and there's a good wind to keep things cool.

but the cool wind is blowing the paperwork around my office.

i know?! hell on earth right!!

shut the door or keep sticking bits of paper back up on the walls?

Had a similar issue when I took some work outside to work on at lunchtime. I decided to put up with the wind and just keep a firm grip on the paperwork...

its terrible bullheart, one day you'll experience a day as challenging as this, on that day i'll make sure i dont help considering you can't even be bothered to drive over and hold my paperwork down for me!!

(going down to brighton tonight to see the design, going on the arm on sunday!! it's pretty much only on there cos you suggested it) 😀

You need multiple half full bottles of beer to weight the papers down.

empty (you choose) bottles make good paperweights

You should give up on work as it's clearly not meant to happen today.

And organise a Swinley Sexyparty instead, it's been far far too long!

Can I come and work for you please?

from Anna (support worker) 🙂

(Not needed today though as I have the afternoon off anyway)

edit: about to go out and make full use of the sun!

Go and buy a bunch of fans. Then spend the rest of the day carefully placing them around the office to negate the external wind effects.

ankylosaurus?

I'm pretty sure i can sort of imagine what that is, based on the involvement of the people, but is there a link to a picture? Time for another riding shirt design?

I just did some visits on my bike - felt like the retro village doctor from 1950s 'ye olde time'!
(saying that, I always do them by bike, but today's was in shorts and glorious sun!)

Can't you just get the patients back in and have them hold the paper for you like normal?

pessary? not sure that's the most effective way to use one.
I could demonstrate the proper use if you have a webcam and a strong stomach.
