Not enough hours in the day....light!

I was having a very hectic day at work yesterday, and met a colleague from our parent company who I know only a little. It was one of those crazy days and we both looked frazzled, but our visits to the coffee machine for extra strong shots of caffeine kept on co-inciding.

At our first 'ad-hoc*' meeting over the coffee machine we exchanged the usual 'not enough hours in the day' type of chat to meet our respective deadlines on our projects, hers a School Project, mine a University one, and so on.....

Our second 'chance encounter*' again at the coffee point led to my revelation that I liked to ride horses and hers that she owns a horse that she struggles to keep fit in the winter months due to our ridiculously short winter daylight hours....'not enough hours in the day', once again, but entirely a more interesting discussion.

Irish Sports Throroughbred gelding, and absolutely stunning boy. And I don't work Mondays or Fridays'....serendipity*? We agreed to pick up the opportunity to work collaboratively* on the exercising of her horse when we both have a minute in our day to catch breath

* strangely when I am not riding horses I can usually be found promoting innovative 'workplace design' planning offices  to encourage lots of 'ad-hoc meetings / chance encounters / serendipitous exchanges / collaborative working'' and so on but I will spare you horse lovers the detail of this aspect of my life! That said if it wasn't for the coffee point.....
