To work

I don't think I really cut out for work. It seems to take up far too much of my free time. In fact, I worked out the other day that by the time I'm 65, I'll have spent nearly six millions hours of my life working!

And I get so snowed under sometimes that I just refuse to take on any more work. I'd love to give up working. The only problem is what would I have to complain about then?

...Or not to work?

Every day a factory somewhere closes down and every day someone gets laid off as companies are forced to cut back and rationalize.

And every day someone thinks up yet another way in which computers or robots can replace people.

In the future, being unemployed from time to time is something most people will have to go through, as the days of 'a job for life' ( or even for a half of one's life) are long past.

Leisure

A new hobby

I have decided to take up golf. I never though I would. To me golf had always been a sport for the rich and privileged, but as more and more of my friends started playing I gave in and decided to join them.
I played my first round a month ago. Now I'm hooked! I have really taken to it. It's a combination of a good walk plus the chance to let out your frustrations by hitting a ball rather than a person.

looked like winning. United equalized two minutes before half time.
Midway through the second half two Arsenal players were sent off.
Within minutes, United scored two goals. They kept up the pressure
and went on to win 4-1.
