Not for me. If you want to catch some rays privately, put up a fence in your back yard.

Ah! There is an obvious work around of those rules. 4.5 day’s pay for 3 day’s work.

Yeah a 3 day week .... whats not to like ?
4 days for fun and frivolity
You boys catch on quick. You'd fit right in around here.

I'm in my last year, making top scale pay, so I want to work as many hours as I can.

You live in a beautiful place Les. I've been fortunate to have visited your province once. Lovely scenery.
That I am. I haven't been to NZ, but my son has and he was quite taken with the beauty of NZ, but also many other aspects of your country.

One thing he doesn't like about NZ, which I have previously mentioned is that cheeky NZ bird...either the Kea or Kakkapoo. One of them flew off with his motorcycle gauntlet glove and he is sure it didn't fit the bird.

I apologize in advance if I have misspelt some NZ terms.

Make sure ( if you can ) you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

I have known a couple who missed out

Same here. I hope he didn't completely cover his back with slippery, greasy sun block...or he may find himself going for the slide of his life off that precipice.

I would have had more than vertigo up there. No chance of sliding off, my backside would pucker so badly they might have to call a doctor to separate me from it.

Kea. They're somewhat destructive and like to make off with things. Kakapo are very rare and are flightless birds, so motorcycle gloves are generally safe!
To confuse you more, there are also Kaka which are smaller parrots and while they cause quite a bit of damage to trees, they're also unlikely to go after a motorcycle accessory.

Since he had a key to open the entry door, I’d like to know how much time on his timesheet for the work supposedly being done and whether it was his manager’s drone doing the filming? The union might not save him this time...

Our hearts are heavy this morning, we had to let our girl Brooke go yesterday evening.
She gave us, and we gave her, 12 1/2 years of unconditional love.
As many of you know, it's so hard making the decision, even when you know it's the right thing to do.

Oh Bob, it is so sad to hear this. These animals become such an integral part of our families and our lives, they become part of our very existence. They are much like our children.

I know how you feel.

My most heartfelt condolences, as I too shed a tear for Brooke.

I would bet the whole thing was staged, and the sunbather knows the drone pilot.
