TIMMY TIME - MONDAY

Today I woke up feeling incredibly sad because it is the last time I will work a Monday with Timmy Nunn as the editor! Monday’s with Tim are usually incredible. We always commence the day with a long hug - the kind you’d give your wife at a train station or airport when you haven’t seen her in weeks! Then, once we’ve separate we always like to catch up over a coffee on all the latest news from the weekend, as well as all of the hot gossip from the football. After we have both calmed down, we then spend the majority of the morning having private conversations on gmail chat about nothing in particular. Then, if the breakers are up we usually head to the beach to double shoot, but not before a quick stop at the local Sainsbury’s café! When we arrive at the surf, most of the time, I’ll simply tell him that I’ve left my camera or an important piece of equipment at home, just so I can watch the master at work and hopefully pick up some tips After the tide has ruined the conditions Timmy will then put a stop to the shoot and declare that we are going back to the office to resume work on the magazine. At this point it Timmy’s mood will darken because he will have been up for longer than most of us (he loves an early start!) and his blood sugars will have dropped to their lowest ebb of the day. I like to remedy this with a nice cup of tea and a pack of Jammie Dodgers – he LOVES Jammie Dodgers! They make him happy and pretty much up until the clock strikes 17.30, he will then be the life and soul of the office. He will crack jokes and regale us with tales about misfortune in cold climates, which I then relay back to my wife at home over dinner. Then, after 17.30 we will have another hug before leaving the office.

I don’t know what I’m going to do without him.


Tomorrow – Tuesday’s With Timmy!
