Good morning a Phil and all.

As work days go today is a better one. Today I shall be visiting the Aston Martin factory in St Athans. I have a large DHL toy truck to deliver which is doing the rounds at all the DHL depots in the South West so when it came to me I then had to move it in to another site so what an opportunity to visit the factory. Best bit is that they are giving me a factory tour and letting me bring my youngest Alex as well. Beats doing pay talks.

Morning all, apprehension and excitement in the Scaf household, and we are all shattered.

My eldest daughter went into labour yesterday morning but it’s a slow one, still in labour as we speak and stuck at the local hospital having had very little rest, let alone sleep over the past 24 hours.

Its all fine, but nature is definitely taking her time on this one, (none of our own three children took more than hours), so this is a real marathon.

I hope to update announce that I am “at last” a grandad later this morning.

Champagne is one ice !

Good luck to the lot of you, Sam. You were the clear winner of the 'who'll be a grandfather first?' competition in Le Mans. Hopefully by a long way, according to the rest of us.

Morning, all.

I assume it's quite far away? ;)

Morning, all...came home from meeting last night to an odd raccoon in one of the pens. Good times. None of the critters that were supposed to be in the enclosure were harmed, but dinner was delayed...another full day, including sorting through a mess that somehow didn't make the news. Yet.

It certainly was. I have had worse days.

Myself and Alex had a tour around the factory which was all we expected but then they gave Alex an Aston Martin F1 water bottle and we were taken out on the test track in a DBX 707. We certainly never expected that. Like the looks or not these things are bloody quick and sound very angry indeed. Much fun was had.

Good morning everyone.
6 hours wasted yesterday as the planner forgot to put us into the program.
Finally got to do some work and then finished for an early bath.
Hope today will be better.
Have a nice Thursday all.
