Why? Well there are certain things you need to do on your computer that interrupts normal work routines, upgrading software is one of them. To help spread the work load between home and office I have decided to install Microsoft 365!
That is a lot of stuff to download!
And then set up - I have my laptop ready with the software, just doing the desktop and then to figure out how to link up with my iPad - easy? For some maybe, but not me, as I get older I tend to find this stuff gets my brain all stirred up!
Still, I'm having a go!
As the colder days arrive and nights draw in there is less work to do outside on the farm and lots of spare time and so the time to make a concerted effort in promoting our business is a good use of time, but we have to have the tools!
What do you do in your spare time during the winter months?

Working away from the office!
The wonders of modern technology means that nowadays no one actually needs to know that you are away from the office!
Access to the internet, mobile communications, laptop computers, are all so readily accessible that you are able to perform the same pretty much wherever you are!
Having said that, some hotels make you pay for poor quality access to the internet (my current hotel has finally decided to give free access and the quality has improved significantly), remembering passwords can be a challenge if you do not travel regularly, and accessing files on your PC can be a problem (this shouldn't be a problem as there are products like Dropbox to make things accessible).
The next two days I am 700 miles away from my office and so far, so good things are happening seamlessly!
Can you recommend anything to make it even more seamless?

Working on a Saturday - whatever next?
Actually, I work most days - 7 days a week, 365 days a year (366 in a leap year) but generally not in the office!
As you may know, we breed llamas & pygmy goats, we keep chickens, dogs and a cat and they all need looking after every day! The llama business is slow at the moment, waiting until next year for cria to arrive and then to determine who to sell, but in the meantime they need tending, the fields need maintaining as do the fences and hedgerows.
Today though is VAT day - the return is due at the end of the month and so I have a few hours work to catch up with my paperwork - I do try and keep office work to Monday to Friday, but being quite busy I have saved this task up for the weekend.
Here goes!
