Crosswords in the sun

Great weather this week. It really makes a change sitting out in the blazing sunshine on work lunchtimes. Instead of sitting at the round tables of the production centre's kitchen, Andy, John, Ian, Gareth and myself have been sitting out in the blazing sunshine doing our usual crosswords, codewords and sudoku, putting the world to rights with our conversations with occasional contributions from Shirley-Ann and Mary. In fact we're trying to not let Shirley-Ann give too many contributions any more as it would seem she merely has to look at a crossword to complete it! Some people are just too bloody clever for their own good. The actual seating area outside the office is not actually all that glamorous. It's a small square of that shredded bark with two rotten, rickety picnic benches and a twenty year old sun lounger (which people strangely fight over) in the middle of the car park. No, it does not sound glamorous but it is a bit of a sun trap. Our lunch break is only a half hour long but I do think my face did start to burn. Plus the heat puts you off your crosswords a little. After saying all this I bet I wake up tomorrow morning and the rain is pissing down. That would be typical Scotland. However it's also Scottish to be pessimistic so let's keep our fingers crossed for the weekend eh? Nobody's still not getting the hang of the Sudoku though...
