Not a good day today. Not feeling 100% feeling a little under the weather. But better than yesterday. Came into work with the delivery all over the place!!! Too many generals and not enough soldiers!!! So i got on with my prep, all the while watching the idiots !! But chatting with my best friendContinue reading “Saturday’s Post 🌦”

Started off a little chilly this morning, and by the end of the day …. sun is out and it’s humid. Work was steady today. Managed to get everything I needed to do. Helped clear tables for the waitresses. Tomorrow is delivery day!!! Wondering who is in tomorrow morning (and will I have to runContinue reading “Friday’s Post 🌤”

A trip to the hairdressers …… After work I had a hair appointment. I don’t get my hair cut very often. I usually have better things to do with my money. But as I’m going away soon, I thought it was time for a trim. But I usually go from long hair to short (ifContinue reading “Random Thought 💭”

Day off ☕️😀 Not so hot today. So I managed to get a fair bit of shopping done (still couldn’t find what I wanted though) needed a pair of trousers for my holiday. And I had a walk around town. Popped into my favourite shop…… The UK book stores are such a disappointment compared toContinue reading “Thursday’s Post 🌤”

Another hot day today. And a busy day at work. People making the most of the last days of summer and school holidays. Day off tomorrow and a busy day planned. Hoping the weather isn’t as hot tomorrow. How did you spend your Wednesday? 🦋

Another hot day!!! Another unbearably hot day in the kitchen. Delivery was a quick affair (couldn’t let the frozen defrost) and I did it all on my own 😉I had a system that works, then getting on with my prep before most of the kitchen staff got in. Guests making the most of our beerContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post ☀️”

Oh my ….. today was HOT!!! Work was unbelievably hot. Thank goodness I don’t work on the griddle. We thought we’d be relatively quiet, it’s was a bank holiday in the UK (everyone wants to go to the coast or do BBQ’s) but no, it seemed like the world and his wife were in ourContinue reading “Monday’s Post ☀️”

Went to visit my son today. The weather was lovely (if a little hot) a walk along The River Thames (he lives in Kingston) it was lovely spending time with him. And took reading material in the form of my kindle. Didn’t get to read much😉but just in case I had something to read 😀Continue reading “Sunday’s Post ☀️”

Saturday is here again. So was the delivery, but as I’m on a new timetable, it should have been put away. Well it was mostly put away, but boxes were left everywhere!!! But I didn’t have time to tidy up. I had to prep for lunch. Weather was sunny and hot, so the beer gardenContinue reading “Saturday’s Post☀️”

Almost the weekend 😊It’s Friday, so here’s Friday’s drink. If you try it, send me a picture 😉 A walk to work In the sun. And a chat with my best friend (always a good start to my day) An extremely busy day at work. Lots of guests enjoying the sun. Making more work forContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

Had a meeting (staff training) at work today ……. yes it was my day off, but it was early enough not to clash with meeting my best friend. What a waste of time, yes I got paid, yes it was only an hour, but to teach us stuff that as fast as I’m concerned isContinue reading “Thursday’s Post 🌤”

Walking to work today I had the chance to listen to an audio book. I tend to chat to my best friend on the way to work, but a prior commitment had us changing it up for today, so I listened to my favourite author (Christine Feehan) one of her Dark Carpathian Series. I alsoContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post 🌤”

My later shift was suppose to had me coming in at 11, then going straight to bringing out the salads to the salad cart. No helping the delivery, not setting up the kitchen. Did that happen today? No it didn’t!! I ended up playing catch up for the rest of my shift!! Getting home IContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post⛅️”

I think poor Mother Nature must be hitting her menopause….. we had rain, sun, rain with sun!!! I don’t think she know which way was up today. Today I started a later shift (will take a few days to adjust) the starting later was ok, it was finishing an hour later that threw me (severalContinue reading “Monday’s Post 🌦”

Sunday morning brings a little rain, so after waiting till lunchtime, we pop out to do some shopping and to visit our daughter’s grave. Going into town I went looking for a couple of t-shirts to take on holiday. Finding nothing in my size we came home. After ringing my best friend (that always putsContinue reading “Sunday’s Post🌧”

Weather is a funny thing, your soaked through one day, and it’s totally miserable, and then the next day it’s clear skies and sun peaks through the clouds. Your never sure what you need to wear or put in your bag (sun lotion or an umbrella) Delivery day sees me organising the walk in fridgeContinue reading “Saturday’s Post ⛅️”

Cheers, a drink for you to try, sounds nice 😋 Rain, rain and more rain today ☔️ hardly any stock in, so I couldn’t prep much, hoping they aren’t too busy tonight. Reading a few review books and starting to make notes. I have a few to do, and I do like a challenge 🤓Continue reading “Friday’s Post 🌧”

A nice sunny day (big change from the rain yesterday) so I popped up to see Kim, then into town to grab a few things. Lunch at my friends home. We watched an episode of “orange is the new black” and a film “await further instructions Description On Christmas Day, a family wakes up toContinue reading “Thursday’s Post ⛅️”

A day filled with rain!!! I managed to catch up with a friend for a quick coffee before the rain set in and I went to work. Had a work meeting (to talk about stock loss and how we can prevent it) and as usual, the same people dragged it out and made it lastContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post 🌧”

I have a thick book to read😆 but I can’t read like I use to (I can’t read all night anymore, I tend to fall asleep) Delivery day was a different set up today. We actually took it off the palate and put it away (rather than pile it up and then put it away)Continue reading “Tuesday’s Post ⛅️”

Another wet and windy day today. And as we only three members of staff in, it went pretty quick. I ended up doing pot wash, salads, desserts and because they were short I ended up helping the waitresses, I took food out and desserts, I also cleared tables (I was Jill of all trades today)Continue reading “Monday’s Post 🌧”

A lazy Sunday ☕️lol ….. luckily enough the 5th sentence from the book I’m reading …. ” that many at that time?” A quiet day today. Rained on and off for most of the day. But I managed to do the laundry, hoovered and cleaned the bathroom. Popped out to do food shopping, visited Kim,Continue reading “Sunday’s Post🌧”

Busy day …… what with Delivery and prepping up the stuff for salads. Didn’t really have much time to stop for a coffee Had a young girl drop her bread roll into one of the sauces (she then promptly started fishing it out!!) so I had to change the sauce pot. And I had toContinue reading “Saturday’s Post⛅️”

It’s Friday, so here’s a drink for you to try😉cheers 🥂 A very mixed bag weather wise today. Mostly rain, but a few sunny spots. Rain didn’t keep guests away today. We still had the kids running around, but throw in a couple of umbrellas (and we have an accident waiting to happen) we hadContinue reading “Friday’s Post 🌧”

A coffee and people watching with my best friend was a nice change today. A little retail therapy and lunch. Catching up with the series we are currently watching (orange is the new black) it made a nice and relaxed day. I managed to read and review a book from TRC (The Reading Cafe) sentContinue reading “Thursday’s Post ⛅️”

A really busy day at work today. Cutting back on staff hours at the moment, changing working hours. We aren’t open for breakfast at the moment, so we don’t need me in till 11 (so now I work an hour later) so it was just the three of us till lunchtime, but we managed. DayContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post ⛅️”

A page for you to print off and colour in ✏️ Never quite sure what the weather is going to do at the moment. I swear the weather app I have doesn’t know wether it’s coming or going, it seemed to change on a regular basis. So we start off with cloud and end upContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post ⛅️”

Wow!!! Not been on here long, but pretty impressed with 500 posts 🥳 The weather really wasn’t very nice this morning 🌧 but through the day it got brighter and warmer, so the walk home was a nicer one than the walk to work. A few changes at work will see me change my hoursContinue reading “Monday’s Post ⛅️”

You know even you have things planned, and it doesn’t goes to plan. Well today was one of those days. We’d planned to go visit my husband’s youngest daughter, his grandson needed help putting in a car stereo. So after putting washing out on the line and doing a little shopping. We also went andContinue reading “Sunday’s Post⛅️”

Weather was its usual mixed up self, we had a cloudy start, but ended up being hot and muggy. Delivery was handled with surprising efficiency today (probably because our new manager was in, and cracked the whip)😉 the usual running around getting salads prepped for the start of the meal time rush. And it wasContinue reading “Saturday’s Post ⛅️”

it’s Friday. And so here’s a post for you to try😉cheers One of those days today. Not only was it hot and muggy, but the restaurant was full of kids and moaning parents!!! It made for a slow day!!! It was also 6 years today that my daughter was admitted into hospital with breathing problems!!Continue reading “Friday’s Post ⛅️”

So yesterday was my scheduled day off (but I’ve switched it around for the next month or two) so today I have a day off. Washing done and on the line. Most of it was dried by the time I brought it in. The rest got to go on the airer. Grabbed lunch and poppedContinue reading “Thursday’s Post ⛅️”
