Yay!! Friday!! And that’s sarcasm for you😉but the plus side, I got a coffee and a chat before work. Three line chefs and me!! And guess who was running around like a headless chicken?? Yup me 🙄 But I got on with it, and to throw a little extra at me, I got to cleanContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

A pretty miserable day. But I got to grab a quick coffee and chat with a friend, before going to work. Rained on and off. Delivery was a soggy affair as we had quite a few boxes!! I really shouldn’t be surprised at how little prep some people do…. I came in next expecting tooContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

My day off today. A little shopping. Lunch with the BFF 🍽 then off to the local college to get my college learning pack 😊I’m doing an online counselling course. I’ll keep you posted. There was a few courses to choose from, and if i get on ok with this one, I’ll do another. AndContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

Delivery day….. And guess what ….. It was late!!! So that I meant I had to put the majority of it away on my own!! And the children were playing up again today!! So I just reminded myself that I only worked till 3 today, and just to get on with it. It amazes meContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

OMG!!!! Talk about Drama Queens at work today. It was definitely eye rolling time today. Petty squabbles and “he said, she said” moments. I really do work in a crèche. Had to get rid of a lot of water in the back yard. Opened the drain and pushed water in, it seemed I was outContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

A wet and miserable Sunday. Managed to go visit my daughters grave. Then off to the supermarket to get groceries. Housework done, I got to read and review a few books. Listening to music whilst looking out the window this afternoon. So a pretty chilled Sunday. 🦋

A busy day today. Had to do delivery on my own!! But got help from 11am onwards. The usual shouting at staff to “scrape and stack” I swear I’m going to get a t-shirt printed with it on😉 kept on my toes for my shift, it felt like I was feeding the five thousand!! AndContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

cheers to all my drinking partners 😉Friday brings lots of different challenges. But first I managed a coffee and a catch up with a friend. Walk to work was a damp one, not raining but mist in the air. Kept busy with salads, pot wash and desserts. But I managed it 😉 An early startContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

Would you believe it, it’s been two days since my last delivery day at work (yes that’s sarcasm) and again, because no one can be bothered, we got a fall back delivery (apparently that’s a delivery we had a few weeks ago) so we got lots of stuff we didn’t need, and nothing we actuallyContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

Brunch with a special friend this morning. popped into the local bookstore. Nothing new to read, but I have a new book ordered for the end of this month. Today would have been my daughter’s 27th birthday. Unfortunately she died 6 years ago. She’s left such a whole in our lives. Most days it’s notContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

Grabbing a coffee before work is always a plus. With a dear friend is a bonus. Only downside, sitting outside is a little chilly. The walk to work was a cold one, and an early one, it’s Tuesday, so it’s delivery day. Wondering where everyone was (well chef) me and Emma (waitress who comes inContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

Wish I’d taken a photo of the sky this morning. It really was a beautiful sky, different hues of red. The clouds breaking up the colour. By the time I’d gone to the bathroom and grabbed my phone, most of the colour had gone. Grabbed a coffee with a friend this morning, and then setContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

Another clear but frosty day. Looking out the window, with the heating on and a coffee in your hand, it looks lovely. The reality hits you straight in the face as you leave the warmth of your home. Started with a walk to the cemetery to visit my daughter. (We were going to take theContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

A different day today. Started off a cold and slippy walk to work. Delivery was a fairly large one. But as usual myself and my little helper (lovely young man) put it away pretty quick. We are having repairs on our roof at work at the moment. All was going well, until they put tarContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

A little celebration of sorts. The son of my friend passed an exam this week. So cheers 🥂 Weather was a little hit and miss today. But it managed to stay dry long enough for a quick coffee with a friend. Then it was off to work. Rain kept a fair amount of people awayContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

Delivery day. But first I had an appointment with the asthma nurse. This is my first time with her. So weight, height and blood pressure is taken. We run through a series of questions. Then I’m given a new prescription for a different inhaler. Need to take it for four weeks, then another visit toContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

we watched the first episode……. The first season follows the story of Joe Goldberg, a bookstore manager in New York, who upon meeting Guinevere Beck, an aspiring writer, becomes immediately infatuated with her. To feed his toxic obsession, he uses social media and other technology to track her presence and remove obstacles to their romance.Continue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

A wet and windy day. Really miserable weather. But that didn’t stop the delivery from getting to work. I didn’t need to be in till later, but by the time I came in, delivery was only just being delivered (high winds on the motorway) so I gave a hand. The day was pretty quiet, notContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

A bit of a damp day today. I had a doctors appointment today. It was just to verify I do have asthma, and I’ve got an appointment to see the asthma nurse to try a few new inhalers. I also got the chance to have a quick coffee with the BFF. Then it was offContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

Food shopping was a bit of a chore today. You go out meaning to be healthy and stuff, and there’s not much in the fresh fruit and veg aisle!! Housework and laundry was the order of the day today. Changed bedding ran the hoover round the house. And thought about a few healthy meals forContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

What a long day. Delivery day as normal. A reasonable size, and I had help. A light drizzle had us making haste. A damp box is an awkward box. We were short staffed so I said I’d stay for a few hours extra. The day went pretty quick, we were busy and I was keptContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

It’s Friday…… it’s almost the weekend….. Cheers 🥂 A stead day at work today. Had a few eye rolling moments today, guests sticking fingers into sauce and kids digging into the pasta and it going everywhere!! Finished the book I got for Christmas, need to do a review, but I’ll have to review the booksContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

Yay Delivery day ….. did you note the sarcasm? Walking in the cold wind this morning was a little challenging, it was really strong in places. I get to work and the delivery lorry is just pulling up. So by the time I get downstairs the delivery guy is opening the back gates and draggingContinue reading “Thursday’s Post 💨”

How do you organise your books? I know it’s January, and I know it’s going to be cold for a while, but a little less of a chilly wind would be nice. Managed to pop into my local bookstore. Always a chuckle if I can get a selfie (it can prove a challenge sometimes.) HadContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post ☁️”

Delivery was a small one. Usually I have help, but she has a bad back at the moment, So instead of help that I was promised as usual I had to do it on my own! Good job I work well unsupervised. And glad it did t rain until later in the day, always makesContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post ☁️”

That wind was pretty chilly this morning. Gloves, hat and scarf were firmly on. Saturday’s delivery was a small one, so by Monday, we were running a little low!! Luckily enough we weren’t too busy. But you can guarantee they wanted what I ran out of!! I did Pot wash as well today. We hadContinue reading “Monday’s Post 🌧”

The only decoration in the house (Kim’s pink tree) is packed away and back in the attic. The tree at the grave (is still up due to rain/is now home and drying out before being packed away and stored in the attic) Housework today, with the help of my headphones and Ed Sheeran on myContinue reading “Sunday’s Post ☁️”

Watched the second episode tonight. I thought it was good. If you read reviews, there was mixed bag of good and bad. Dracula …. Next episode …. The Dark Compass Lucy Westenra seems to have it all. A beautiful and popular girl with no shortage of young men in her thrall. Yet Lucy seems toContinue reading “Saturday’s Post ☁️”

Another cold walk to work this morning. Not cold enough for my big coat yet (internal heater doing its job, so I don’t need a big coat yet) but gloves, scarf and hat keep me warm enough. As you know, it was my day off yesterday, so returning to work I did wonder how muchContinue reading “Friday’s Post ☁️”

Day off today. Had some chores to do in town, had time for a little window shopping. Then grabbed lunch for myself and BFF. We took down Xmas decorations and then settled down to watch a new series on the tv….. This series follows Dracula from his origins in Eastern Europe to his battles withContinue reading “Thursday’s Post ☁️”

So I’ve set my reading challenge. I’ll keep you posted on how I do😉 And now my daily report😉 cold walk this morning, but a bit of an eye opener…. I came across numerous items of clothing. Bra, two odd shoes, leggings and two pairs of knickers!! I kid you not!! I’m hoping they fellContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”
