Now out to get out of the house...
I gave hubby a warm hug but no sloppy wet one just yet ❌
It was getting well windy.
On goes winter coat and winter hat.
I gets the newspaper.
Fetches big stick and gloves.
I had to hold onto my big stick while turning on my lights.
Now let's go to work 🍭
It was well windy.
Felt like I was going to take off!
One car put their foot down and sped past me as I walking towards them!
I just make sure my stick goes into the road first!
I had to give 3 BOINGs out for those not stopping!
I was glad to finish in one piece.
Then it started to rain.
(Good job I had left my rain mac in Sexy Beast
I had to pick up a parcel.
I was looking at the Fridge Freezers in there.
There was nothing I liked or in my price range.
I picked up my parcel and left in the rain.
Back home.
My Amazon delivery from yesterday, turned up and was left under my garden table :)
We now have more Lemax for our Christmas Display.
I have the Lemax Coffee shop.
Hubby has the Lemax Funhouse.
All be revealed soon!
Coffee machine went on.
Emptied all the bins.
Coffee Time.
Then it was time for more cooking...
Used all the white wine I had!
That was put in the oven for later.
Time for a light lunch!
Now to do the afternoon shift.
The Hall car park was full.
I parked in the other car park.
On goes the winter coat and hat.
I see two friends gathering up the pears in the near-by park.
I go go and have a good chat.
They had a good bag of pears which had fell off the tree.
They call it "Scrumping"
I ask "If they want any Bramley Apples?" 
"Yes, and they will meet me tomorrow afternoon for them!"
One of my friends I chat to arrived and we all had a good chat.
Then it was time to put on my lights, I said goodbye to my two friends and carried onto turn on the lights with my other friend.
My other friend arrived when we got to the square.The rain held off.
Now for a little rabbit....
It was time to start my shift.
I said "See you all tomorrow!"
At least the wind had died down.
It was still cloudy.
A few more BOINGs handed out.

Testing of the car brakes at the last minute!
Finished in one piece.
Back home I go.
On goes the oven.
Now to write yesterday's blog post.
Hubby came back for a warm hug and a bit of a sloppy wet one 💋

Then it happened:
First older son was shouting very loudly to his friends in the US at 1.30am, waking up hubby.
Then at 3am, the hubby's snoring was getting so loud, I had double ear plugs in and still could hear it!
Downstairs I went to sleep on the sofa!
