Simon Lindsay was a road worker on State Highway 3 in New Zealand.

His blog – RestArea300 – was a classic. One of the best I’ve read

In the blogosphere, he was Doddery Old Fart. He died suddenly in May last year.

His blog’s offline now, but there are some pure gems tucked away in there.

Thanks to Chrissie, Alex and Jane for letting me share them

Working Environments

I’m a big softy really.


I lashed out on a wheelbarrow last winter after watching the girls struggling with the firewood.


I even oil the axle now and then.


An extra piece of fish, and TWO tomato sauce sachets with the wedding anniversary fish and chips.


I’ve taped up the split on the handle of the axe.


I take a safe working environment seriously.


But for some obscure reason, my domestic arrangements are a little dangerous at the moment.


Very puzzling ….
