Been a while since we've had a job thread but thought I'd expand it and take inspiration from a chocolate bar ;)
I'm equating work rest and play to work, relaxing and hobbies respectively.
Work: IT Manager for an animal feed manufacturer
Rest: Play games, Watch movies
Play: Photography, Walking
Motorcycling should be in there somewhere but I'm just not feeling it at the moment, my bike is sorn'd and I'm driving everywhere.

Rest - Medication which leaves me in a mong state, dribbling and fouling myself! :laughat:
Play - Technic Lego, Scrabble, reading, watching movies and riding my fabulous bike if I am fit enough to ride (if not then it is cuddling my kitty Jasper :cat: ). :p

Looking forwards to going back over there this year to see the family.........sorry for wandering off topic.
