A Voice, -from the, Woods - XII: On the psychology of toonies, and the shorter working week

摘要

As a young woodcutter I always liked to start my weeks on a Sunday. I realise this seems rather odd as most people are likely to be curled up in front of the TV or tucking into a Sunday dinner, but there was method in the madness. Firstly, there was no one to disturb me, particularly if it was a nice day with the birds singing and the general tranquillity of the wood as an accomplice. A nice cup of tea and a quiet smoke... perfection! Secondly, I like to be ahead when carrying out any task. You neverknow what the rest of the week is going to bring. Suppose it pours down or snows, or the machinery (on which you're usually dependent) breaks down, or a combination of all three? You can never tell. And like every Boy Scout... be prepared! That's my motto.
