Oh what a world we live in!?!

So we enter February, perhaps one of the dreariest months in the calendar and now mid month what do I find?
We currently have the largest order book the Company has seen in the last decade? Right in the middle of a double dip, a sliding recession whatever you call it. Go on then you bright folk make some sense of that!
Don't get me wrong I am not complaining but lurching from all off to all on is a very tricky business in manufacturing! At the moment the trick is trying to keep everyone happy, that is without anything like the level of MOD business we have had in previous years.
Why?
Just before everyone gets excited and starts ordering flashy cars etc, it doesn't mean we are going to make a lot of money, I thought that was frowned upon now and didn't want to be labelled a banker, estate agent or heaven forbid a LAWYER!, so we dropped our prices to make sure! Please don't tell the wife or if you do make sure you buy M&S and Next shares first!
So what to look forward to?
The lighter nights are arriving, at least not so many mole-like hours any more
The April pilgrimage shines like a beacon. Good news the knee feels a lot better and the foot also after the purchase is some splendid insoles! I may not be just an adornment I may actually be able to play! My 15 points may prove invaluable yet!
Very sad news this week, a friend, similar age has had a stroke, whilst he is on to recover well he has lost his sight temporarily. Get well Stevie we are all thinking of you and our wishes for a speedy recovery are with you. Too close to home, very thought provoking thought it might make Mrs B more amenable towards me but no!
