It's a sad time at Job 1 as a teacher passed away at the weekend.The children will be told today :(
I am going to the Wake of a ex-postman I used to work with after Job 1.
I don't feel like smiling at the moment :(

 I gave everyone a sloppy 💋 before they all left.
I wore out my red trainers(walking 5 miles around the NEC).
I have to wear my boots until I get some money to get some more trainers!

It keeps trying to rain!
 
 
 It was a very sad dinnertime.
The sun actually came out when I got out.
 
  I got home and changed to go to the Wake.
 
 I gets there.
Got myself a Lime and Lemonade (£1.15)
 Few ex-postmen said "Hi" to me when they arrived.
A few of the arseholes I worked with, didn't and just starred at me.
One of them, I remember.....
(when I was pregnant with one of my children 20+years ago)
 When I asked him a question:
 "Am I going to be took off my duty nearer the time?"
He replied to that:"Do you expect me to take someone off their duty for you to go on it?"
*So I was delivering mail, carrying 16 kilos of mail when I was seven and half months pregnant!*
 I enjoyed my table for one↑↑↑↑↑
After 20 minutes, of looking at empty glass and starring into thin air.
I left....
I got changed and enjoyed a coffee and nibbles↓
 I went to Job 2
(The co-worker who had a free ticket to go to the NEC (Creative Craft event) didn't want to go on her own, so didn't go! )
I got back to have a no-meat Stir Fry↓
 Netflix time!
Really good programme.
*It will be the 6th year this year I have been tea-total*
(I just fell asleep half way through the 1st programme!) 
Catch up with it tomorrow....
