A cold start to the day. And it didn’t really warm up all day. I’ll be glad to get this week out of the way, holidays are a nightmare, you don’t know what day your on (add in the fact I worked Sunday) and now I don’t know my Wednesday from my Thursday 😉 DidContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post ☁️”

A cold and frosty start to the day. And because it’s New Years this week, the deliveries are on a Monday instead of Tuesday. Delivery put away and a little prep done before also doing the pot wash area. Now usually the time in between Christmas and New Years is a quiet time, but notContinue reading “Monday’s Post ☁️”

An extra shift at work today. Started off quiet, got a few things done. It got busier over the lunch period. Had a few guests that needed to be a nuisance😉extra bread rolls, extra bowls. A little housework once I got home, and then as a reward I grabbed my new blanket, book and aContinue reading “Sunday’s Post ☁️”

Just a small delivery today, so I did that on my own (we’ve started to do breakfast at the weekend) yes I know we were doing them with Santa, but before that, breakfast was a little hit and miss, so they are going to try again!! We started off quiet and got steadier. I wasContinue reading “Saturday’s Post ☁️”

Wow!! Almost the weekend. Must be time for a cocktail 😉 Back to work after a couple of days off (I have to admit I didn’t know what day it was) but funnily enough, after only an hour it felt like I’d never had a few days away from the place. We were steady today,Continue reading “Friday’s Post ☁️”

Over in the U.K it’s Boxing Day ….. Had breakfast with my son, he had to go back to work today. Had a lovely catch up with my sister and nephew. Lunch was at my work place (well the discount was too good to pass up, and it saved me washing up) Coffee in theContinue reading “Thursday’s Post🌧”

I’d like to wish you a late merry Christmas. I hope it was all you wanted? So much pressure is on creating the perfect holiday feeling (mountains of presents, the perfect meal, everyone looking immaculate) when the most important thing is spending it with people you love. I had a noisy breakfast, a quiet lunchContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post ☁️”

Just to keep everyone on their toes, the delivery came today instead of tomorrow (no deliveries tomorrow) it was a fair sized one, but it doesn’t take long to put it all away. I was on my own in the kitchen today, our new pot wash person wasn’t in. But as it wasn’t too busyContinue reading “Monday’s Post ☁️”

A Christmas t-shirt, and with books on the front (what more do you need?) My sister came down to finish off her Christmas shopping. It gave me the chance to give her a little Christmas bag I made for her and the boys (my nephews) although one now works at my place😉 a few funContinue reading “Sunday’s Post 🌦”

As it’s almost Christmas, I thought I’d post a Christmas t-shirt (and it’s got books on it) An early start to my work day. Delivery was in late!! But luckily enough not too large. I had a lovely assistant today, and we had it away pretty quick, so I had time to do a littleContinue reading “Saturday’s Post 🌧”

It’s Friday. So for all you lucky people who don’t work over the weekend. Cheers 🍻 Had a wet start to the day. But also a productive one. Got plenty of prep and cleaning done as well. Dodging the rain whilst doing it. Also we have a new member to the kitchen team (not howContinue reading “Friday’s Post 🌧”

How cute is that? Might have to try something like that. These look really good. I’ll have to have a go and add them to my twigs with all my butterflies on. An early start at work today. It’s delivery day. But it’s also present exchanging (secret Santa) but I swear most people know whoContinue reading “Thursday’s Post 🌧”

A little Xmas shopping and a few jobs done for my friend today. I also found and put the butterflies on my daughters Christmas tree. I’ll post tomorrow (I never think artificial light shows your subject in a good light) Aiming to put her tree up over the weekend at the grave. I have toContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post☁️”

Delivery day sees a little rain, luckily enough me and Emma (she’s a waitress that helps on delivery day) got it in pretty quick, a coffee then put it all away. I’m off tomorrow looking forward to a little quiet time with a good friend. Then a few chores and possibly a little Christmas shopping.Continue reading “Tuesday’s Post 🌧”

So….. after the chaotic weekend, Monday was a relatively quiet day. And we have a new worker in the kitchen 🥳 we will see how she works out. Being freed from the pot wash I was able to concentrate on salads, and even help the waitresses do their desserts. The yard got a sweep andContinue reading “Monday’s Post 💨”

Had breakfast with Santa and my granddaughter today. Got to work only to find there was no chef to cook our breakfast!! So instead of a large cooked breakfast, we had cereal and toast. They didn’t worry me as I don’t usually have a big breakfast. But Grace got to see Father Christmas and chattedContinue reading “Sunday’s Post 🌥”

Oh what a long day that was!! I did the delivery on my own, I put it all away, then brought breakfast in (I swear people were in a go slow today) took salad out, and then began to prep for the day. I was told to leave pot wash alone as it would beContinue reading “Saturday’s Post 🌧”

A really chilly wind this morning. Needed a hat and gloves. Getting into work I quickly went upstairs, we were suppose to be wearing Christmas jumpers and posting pictures. I get to work, and no one is in, and when they did start coming, no one was wearing a jumper, so I paraded around inContinue reading “Friday’s Post 💨”

A cold and wet start to the day. Needed to go into town to do plenty of things today. Presents to buy, a little food shopping, and a few chores to do for my BFF (she’s laid up in bed at the moment, after falling down the stairs!!) The rain didn’t let up all day,Continue reading “Thursday’s Post 🌧”

I need to try to duplicate this picture. Might try in the summer 🤔 A cold day all day today. But as I’m going through the menopause, I’m loving it. It keeps my body temperature down, the kitchen might be chilly, and everyone is complaining, but it’s a perfect temperature for me😉 A few itemsContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post 💨☁️”

Thank goodness it was only a small delivery today. The weather wasn’t nice to start off with, but by the time the delivery had arrived, so had the rain. And trying to get the boxes in before they got wet was a race against time. But we managed. We then grabbed a quick coffee toContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post 🌧”

A pretty chilly walk to work today. When I got to work I was greeted with a hello and told there wasn’t much salad done. My counterpart hadn’t turned up for work, so my salad cart had suffered. Hardly anything had been done, and the stuff that had been done, seemed hurried. But I gotContinue reading “Monday’s Post☁️”

As you know from yesterday’s post, my son was down for the weekend. I didn’t fancy doing breakfast, so when my son suggested going out for breakfast, I jumped at the chance😉 Went to my work place as I have a staff discount there (might as well make the most of it) it was reallyContinue reading “Sunday’s Post🌧”

Oh my!!! An extremely busy day at work today. We started out “Breakfast with Santa” weekends…. they run until Christmas Eve. Our little area where we usually have staff lunch was turned into “Santa’s Grotto” one of the waitresses father dressed up and sat for two and a half hours with children and wandered roundContinue reading “Saturday’s Post ☁️💨”

Cheers. Hope you get to try this drink. Another cold walk to work this morning. A little drizzle as well. It was delivery day yesterday, and i thought I’d come into a full fridge and the walk in fridge stocked up ….. ha!! No chance, it wasn’t full until I spent my shift filling itContinue reading “Friday’s Post ☁️”

Had a staff meeting this morning. Half the staff hadn’t turned up, the other half, well they were more interested in coffee and nicotine!! But we get on and today a fire drill is done. So we all traipse out to the meeting point. Some with cigarettes in their hands🙄 And the delivery lorry turnsContinue reading “Thursday’s Post ☁️”

A day when most of my guests are in their twilight years. Shop mobility scooters, walkers and canes littered the place. We had to turn down the piped music as a couple complained the music was too loud!! But that didn’t stop them from eating most of my salad cart!! The walk home was aContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post ☁️”

Delivery day. And I was expecting a large delivery, what we got was a surprise. There was hardly anything delivered!!! Wish they would check what is in the fridges and store rooms!! So I put away the tiny delivery, and grabbed what I needed to put out on the salad cart. It was a prettyContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post ☁️”

What a frosty start to the day. And it’s only going to get colder!! But I’d rather this weather, don’t care much for the rain or snow. We had a lack of salad stuff this morning (not enough was ordered Saturday) so filling the cart up was interesting to say the least. But it gaveContinue reading “Monday’s Post ☁️”

Oh that was cold today. It didn’t rain, it was in fact nice and sunny, but do very cold. We were suppose to go shopping and tidy my daughters grave. We did, but not a proper shop. We walked to our nearest supermarket, got enough for a few days. Visited Kim, then made our wayContinue reading “Sunday’s Post ☁️”

Except for a few review books in December, I don’t think any of my favourite authors have a book out. It’s also time to start thinking about Christmas. I use to love Christmas when the kids were little. Watching their faces light up, watching Christmas movies under a blanket whilst eating popcorn. Wrapping presents whilstContinue reading “Welcome December🍂”
