Here we go again. I have done over 444 - 4 o’clocky’s *- My signature daily blog !
I know alot of you read it and that gives me the drive to be in your life with My thoughts and ideas every day 😉
Some time ago I’ve written about the ‘best’ time to submit a blogpost so you’ll receive worldwide exposure.
I came up with the term 4 o'clocky and I thought this might be a great idea to make a blogpost every day at 4 o'clock local time with this title. Every day I’ll submit a blogpost about something that keeps me busy, a challange, a contest or something important enough to share so Lets blog on and See you every day here at 4 !
This My 4 o’clocky for today...
The boys have holiday so today was a day that was different than others. We went to the indoor swimming pool and took two friends. I changed my workplace and took work to the pool. Offcourse I made sure the inner me was taken care off.
The boys had a blast and I was going to get things done! But the place we went to was in my old neighbourhood. Why? The pool there is huge with a very long slide, bubble bath, sauna and an outside pool. I got the 4 boys in bath in suits and let them go in the water and decided to make office in the bar next to the pool and easy accessible for them and me if they needed me. But things were different. VERY DIFFERENT!
I made my office at a nice table and sat down. But Because it’s was in the middle of the place I grew up in I was spoken to within five minutes. First a former friends husband, a soldier who went to Afghanistan and came back now suffers from PTSS he even told me he didn’t want to be alive anymore untill his little girl was born now 4 years ago and she was there at her swimming lesson.
And the girl who lived next door was t a girl anymore she told me she was married 3 times and now lived with her three kids in the house next to her parents.
The father of my classmate from early days was swimming in the piece especially for the older recreational swimmers. He come to say hi nd told me his life changed after he became widower. But still loved life.
The mums that I know from the schoolyard were swimming with the kids ( they don’t have work with them ) well I had to be polite and say a few words, some even interested and real )
Last but not least the daughter of my old best friend, old in time not in a age. And old because her path in life wasn’t mine anymore. I met the daughter in the dressing room after doing 2% from everything I wanted to do. She was with two kids ( OMG she is our daughters age 😬) and age has two!!! Told me she was alone and her mum was homeless!!
Guys I am home, my 4 o’clocky is some what late, but
I WAS BUSY .... DOING NOTHING !!!
I was amazed that time can be stolen just by being nice, don’t get me wrong I wanted to be polite but an suicide attempt, unplanned pregnancies and a homeless woman weren’t the things I counted on. I managed to get some replies done and some discord questions answered but I had a different day than expected.
What did you do today and did you get your work done or did life rob you from your time aswell?

Ssstttttt To much calories hahaha
Dear Britt,
I am starting to gear up on the bouncy wave/slide on the pool but yeah, its kinda difficult to do things when everyone is interrupting you.
While I have not yet experienced doing my "work/blogging" in public- I don't count libraries and coffee shops anymore as a public place- I had been in them almost everyday it is starting to feel like home! I do anticipate these interruptions so, whenever anyone calls on me, I would always put on my headset and pretend I am listening.
don't get me wrong. I have scarcely time to do things that I love and, I do not really want to waste them by answering trivial things like, how was I able to arrive on that conclusion/answer while in fact, it was discussed/documented in our last academic websites.
So true and your day can be so interrupted , maybe we Will have to be more honest
yeah. If they're your genuine friends, they will understand. If they are just run of the mill ones, perhaps, not as much.
Well being polite did not help in this case .... but than again thats life.
You must experience that in your new life too
Isn't it amazing? Before you can dip your toe in the water, or put a pen to paper, or type a single sentence the day is gone. Where does time go?
I think you got a small sample about what our charity work is all about. Everybody knows me, even if they are strangers to me and everybody wants to share their story.
To be kind is a good thing, but it takes a lot of one's time and one has to be prepared for that.
This is the reason why I so often run away into nature with my camera.
You did well to be kind my friend.
Blessings!
And the stories were real life and the world we live in but I wanted to crawl into a corner after I have a good stable life just with a lack off hours sometimes
And your charity is appreciated
So you think you will be going back there soon. Hahaha
Thats when you make pretend you have to get the phone.
The boys must have enjoyed it.
Ooooh my number is getting ready to be called
I was glad i went home inthe end
cover photo, yummy. thanks FOR share your blog.
