Attack on my senses

On Monday of this week I had a pretty long day at work, it has been followed up by two relatively easy days which has evened it out, but I haven’t had a chance to blog until now, being that yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day.

Anyway, we had to do this one job putting up a massive marquee. 20M x 50M. 1000 square metres. Massive! Anyway, the day took a toll on my five senses. First of all it was at a horse training facility, so everything smelled like Horse poo, Attack on my smell!! Next, the work itself was hard and made my back really sore and I rolled my ankle too, Attack on my sense of touch!! It was overcast at the beginning of the day, but the sun came out and while putting up such a large marquee, you inevitable have to look up a lot and right into the sun, Attack on my sight!! In each leg of the 20 x 50 marquee, 24 legs in total there are 4 long pegs that are about the diametre of a quarter and a metre long. These are put in with a jackhammer and makes a tremendous noise. No ear protection that day, Attack on my hearing!! Lastly, I didn’t think I would have trouble with my sense of taste, but it was destined to fail me as well. This one is a little weak, but it completes the package, so I say it counts. My roast beef sandwich that I had for lunch was a little suspect and tasted a bit like it had gone bad, Attack on my taste!!

There you have it, all my senses had a bad day monday, but everything is good now.

Until next time...
