Our Lives On Holiday

Since New Year things have been a bit busy at work, there are Filipino Fishermen who come home and almost collapse after 18 hours on the waters, only to rally themselves when their wives say: 'Think you had a tough day do you? Do me a favour, you’re not LucyP.  She's been at her desk for 3 hours and only had time for 1 Coffee ya lazy bugger'.
I am off next week for my Birthday and we have six days in Cornwall booked on a 'holiday' but we don't really seem to go on holiday anymore because unless you leave all your devices in your drawer, the internet makes it too easy to communicate with the folks back home so you end up bringing the folks back home on holiday with you.
It used to be the case that you would go away and hear no news or read any newspapers and you would be wondering how your team got on or what's happening in the World but now, even if you avoid the News websites, friends will text you if anything happens which is nice but do you really want to know that Brian has been nicking milk from the fridge again or that really awful juggler on Britain's Got Talent made it through to the Final.   
As usual i will leave the message that I am only to be contacted if there is an emergency or something really, really, REALLY important but I know it will be about anything and I know that I will answer that email or text because even on holiday, there’s no escaping our lives and in some ways it's frustrating but in other ways it's quite nice.
