...on the work/life thingy!

I have been under some pressure from my business partners for some time to have a vitally important heart to heart with a senior employee and have been avoiding it like a good'un because, frankly, what I needed to say to him would involve his having to take a difficult decision as to where his career goes.

Friday morning, I couldn't put it off any longer but the sun was shining.

So...

I suggested we nip over to Yarmouth in my boat.

Glorious sunshine, just a bit of a breeze. Solent virtually empty. First time on the new pontoons in Yarmouth. King's Head: pint, cheesy chips (the blood had been just racing through my arteries for weeks beforehand). Truth imparted and well-received. Back to Lymington with the still almost-full moon blazing away in the sky. Job done and all right with the world.

Just need to claim the diesel as a business expense to complete the perfect scenario.
 
Crikey that was brave, putting your loved one in harm's way. He might have pulled the plug out of her or something. I always find that these heart to heart chats are best left to SWMBOs. They like all that kind of stuff.
 
Not really. I just told him it was time to put his nuts on the block, which is what he needed and wanted to hear, so not much of a risk of being scuppered and sent to Davey Jones' locker.
