Default A day off tying flies

Sick of the stress, the work, the recession, the politics, the weather, no trout fishing, and a blocked ear problem () so, sod the lot of them, I've booked a day off work tomorrow and I'm going to treat myself to a nice cooked breakfast ....decent coffee ....and a morning and afternoon day tying flies for next season in peace and quiet.

Better than any medicine I'd say ?

Surely.... but I'd take some just to be on the safe side. From about 2pm onwards... 1/6 of a gill to be administered every 20 minutes

Have a nice day mate

Interestingly my bank wants me to come in and talk to them too because they think they can help me make more of my money, such as it is.

So i told them that I had more pressing issues to deal with

Bloody banks!

I'd love to do that, unlikely unfortunately. I do go up to my "office" and tie at least one or two flies every evening though, you see I need to sit in front of my bright lamps for half an hour a day during the winter to prevent my hibernation instincts from kicking in, so its the perfect time to do a spot of tying. Just that half an hour is a nice way to chill out after a busy day.
