Delivery day, and guess what? Yes I’m on my own!! It’s a fair sized delivery, and it started to rain!! But I put my headphones in and got it done. It was a pretty busy day as well, so that made it go quicker, and a few work colleagues had a moan and groan, butContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

Tuesday brought the sun. And a delivery day. On a week day it’s not so bad as I usually have help. And today was no exception. But as we were short on waitresses, Emma had to go help them earlier than planned, so that left me putting the rest of it away on my own.Continue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

Monday brought a really cold wind. And I got to walk in it!! by the time i got to work, I couldn’t feel my nose or forehead. We also had issues with some of the equipment at work today, so instead of serving salad to guests, I was elbow deep in cleaning 🧹 🧼 butContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

Totally threw me today. My blog format has changed slightly, you’ll have to let me know if it looks different. Rained on and off for most of the day.

Cold start to my morning. Hat and gloves today. But at least it was dry and a little watery sun to keep me company as I walked to work.
