Last week was second consecutive week of travelling for work. Not a fan! Weekend was a fair bit of garden work & BBQ both days. I am a fan of that!

I work from home all the the time, travelling for work does sound appealing sometimes! Did you have to stay away or just lots of travelling per day?

What did you have for the BBQ? :D

I was abroad, three days one week and four days the other. Travelling for work can be appealing, but the appeal wears off quite quickly. There only so many airports and hotels you can take before it becomes boring. Oh, and you are tired all the time especially if you are traveling across multiple timezones.

For BBQ we did burgers one day, and steaks and vegetable skewers with garlic potatoes the other day. Next weekend weather does not look great, but if it improves I might consider making pork ribs.

Few years ago I was working away from home (each week) for 3 months.

An opening for a different (manager) role opened up, working from home. I got the job and now I barely leave the house.

Think I preferred the previous role 🙂
