Time for the big ones to come out again..
The sun might be out, but I needed my winter hat, scarf and gloves!
Nice picture while I waited to turn on the lights
I began crossing people,kids and dogs over.
It had gone up the 4c in half an hour.
I finished in one piece!
I got my newspaper and a sympathy card.
Back home.
I phone up the Funeral Directors if I can have Order of Service of my dad's best man who died this month. His funeral is next Thursday. She will ask the family if I can have one.
I filled in the card,
I will send it later this afternoon
I have a lovely hot shower.
While my hair dries,
I have a coffee...
Then it was to catch up with the blog post from yesterday.
Barry's daughter phoned me to tell me about her dad's funeral next week.
I couldn't go because it clashes with my Lollipop job :(
We were talking about her dad and my dad and lots of happy memories together.
He is being cremated, and they are having his ashes.
My shorter hose for my Henry arrived!
Lunchtime.
Then it's back out with the big ones on..
It was nice to soak up the rays while waiting.
Blue Sky Feeling...
Ready to stand on my spot..
