Off to my other job.

It was a co-worker's last day.

We were all gathered together to say Goodbye to him...

Speeches were said like:

"We had a our good and bad times, it's called work!"

(I thought that sounded like a song title)

He was given his Leaving card and present.

While I went into the factory,

He was staying goodbye to the workers in there.

He came over to me, and told me to put my mop bucket down for a goodbye hug.

He said beforehand...."No Tongues!"

I laughed, and "Wished him well for the future!"

I bought something home for my Gerbils to play in...↓

At least my Body Shop order arrived...

Having dry skin is not fun....

At least this keeps it at bay....↓

Amazing what you can put together...

Mince, Spinach, garlic, red onions,can of chopped tomatos, and ginger, with a packet of Linguine....

We had four empty plates...

We caught up with Gordon in↓

 There were some shocking hotels from what we watched....

We were all surposed to be going to bed early......

Someone had to sort their cooking stuff out,

10 minutes before their bedtime!
