Coffee, a bit of sunshine, and maybe browsing the FME Community for some quick, easy questions to answer :D

A good ol’wikipedia vacation for me. Virtually traveling to a location and finding all the little things that are linked to that location along the way. Did you know the Col de Naurouze, is the highest point (190 m above sea level) of the Canal du Midi in southern France? 😆

Sometimes the day passes so fast that I suddenly realize it’s 2pm and I missed lunch. When that happens, the best way to catch up on lunch involves a proper Leicestershire cheese and onion cob. Google it, or watch this video!

Read a few chapters in a book, take a walk, or play with the dog :)

It’s more of an after work break, but I head into the garage to either do a gym workout (spy the FME bag as my Gym bag), or spanner away at my 1976 Classic Mini!

@hkingsbury A Mini and a Land Rover! Colour me jealous. I used to have an ‘81 Mini and was part-owner of a LWB Land Rover from about the same era. Alas, both are long gone now :-(

Deep in a FME project, I suddenly realise it's been 4 hours and my stomach is growling. I go feed myself while arguing with chatgpt about its wrong transformer suggestions!

Going for a walk, triggering the dog’s zoomies, or wondering if the FME Lizard will get in on the new “lizard” social media trend.

Coffee is the answer. Whether it’s a morning break, or an afternoon break, there is always coffee.

@mark2atsafe The Land Rover is my mates, they’re both 1976, expect the Land Rover was Australian built, but the Mini was UK built. Crazy to think, if they were both originally from the same country, they could’ve been built alongside each other!

Like many, A walk, cup of tea, food, anything to break my mind away from the problem so my brain can get a chance to get a different perspective.
