I take it everyone is free on Friday for the CC Mundane Chr***mas party at @postman 's place

Just waiting for the address

Rained during the night, pretty sure it's not now though.
First cuppa is ready to be drunk

 

[biggs682]

Well the first cuppa went down well.
Still dark outside.

After a visit by our granddaughter my phone case now sports a sticker featuring Pug, a character from the Beano.

A couple of pictures from our shop:

This includes a few of their own products made from recycled materials.

To keep stock at acceptable levels while having a buffer to absorb the unpredictable donations, this is backed up by a stock room of about the same size as the shop.

Keeping this organised is a job in itself; we could get a donation of thirty rolls of fabric or ten bags of balls of wool and they have to be organised, thrown away or put out for stock quickly.

I've always thought you worked in a cycle shop !

Morning.
Georgie has been in and shown me how wet it is out . I toweled him dry for a bit and then I lay on the floor at the bottom of the stairs as he wandered back and forth having a stroke as he passed by. I don't know who he's talking to who is telling him a load of porkies!

I can confirm it is just about ☔

1st and sit down since about 1/2 5 this morning. Been none stop since coming in from the dog walk. Giving the down stairs a good pre Christmas clean. Mostly done rest can wait for later today. All it will need then a quick clean from now till Christmas Eve.
Need a nap after all that at least it’s all done saves a lot of time for other things.
Best get ready and call into town before it gets too busy.

Morning perambulation completed, porridge eaten and all ready for another wonderful day at work.

It's still dark out. A bulb must have gone in the sun.

It continues to get darker in the mornings until about the 8th January 😕

Good morning from a fairly damp Suffolk. It wasn't as wet as I was expecting, but still required the waterproofs for the morning commute and the gloves, cap and Buff are currently in the drying cupboard.

just finishing the first coffee of the day which is a bit stronger than normal as I'm using whatever was left in the bottom of the jar and then I'm being dragged out to do some actual work

Dull and cloudy with more gales forecast.
The local post office is warning people to get their christmas mail in early as boats may be cancelled and the mail will not leave the island.
MV Isle of Arran was off for some reason but the first sailing was reinstated at 0530. Going anywhere by ferry gets more of a lottery by the day.
Since it is not actually raining I may get out today tho' I could be doing with tidying my living room. Too much correspondence lying around waiting to get filed or junked.
Dealt with emails to my overseas relatives so only localish ones to do now.
Coffee time.

 

[tom73]

time I think.

It's the black bituminous stuff they lay on roads, usually applied hot and rollered flat.
