The rain has stopped for a bit...
 
 
 
 
 Quick coffee, before the fun starts.
The temperature went down↘↘↘
Good job I was wearing the leggings.
Tried to park on my drive, 
There was a lorry in the way.
I parked by the side of it,
And refused to move,
Blocking the road.
The lorry reversed up,
Then I got on my drive at last! 
 
 It goes back across my drive...
Nice read and coffee for 5 minutes.
 I go up to Job 2.
The lads in the factory finished off my final cake
 I just commented on what I was giving up for Lent.
One lad commented, He gave for sugar for Lent one year, after he realised he was getting too big.
(40 inch waist, his belly hung over his belt, and he couldn't see his feet!)
I looked down at my feet...and said:
"I can see mine!" 
Goes back home to sort out the tea.
We catch up with some
