What do you do on your break time?

What do you do on your break time?

We all have different ways of enjoying our tea and lunch breaks, some like to go in the canteen and listen to the banter and tall tales, some prefer to go off site to chill out and others like myself prefer to stay in the cab and enjoy my lunch in peace and maybe snatch a 15 minute power kip! Now imagine working in the searing heat of an Australian summer which must take some sticking and as my Australian brother in law once said to me, “The heat sure sorts out the pommies”. Well the guy in the back of this giant dumptruck seems to have the right chill out idea, fill it with water and get the inflatables out! Another option down under is to seek shade in any way you can, like these lads who have found some refuge from the heat in the shade of a loading shovel bucket. Let's be honest about this, having a chat with fellow machine operators at lunch times is often the only chance you get to talk to anyone with a bit of sense on sites these days! So the question is how do you spend your lunch breaks? Post your photos in the comments section when this blog is posted on our Digger Man Blog Facebook group page!
