I go to bed early last night....

Over 5 hours later....

I joined the Wide Awake Club! 

 I tried to go back to sleep.

No chance.

Downstairs I went...

To enjoy tea and toast..

 Went back to bed after 2 hours.

Now for a cup of tea to wake up to :)

I gave everyone a 💋💋💋

Had several cups of coffee to keep awake.

Now onwards to work..

 I didn't park in the car park as the parents will be parking in there as there is a Church Service straight after lunch.

 

 I was glad where I parked, as the car park was rammed. Just got into the car, and it started to rain!

I see a postie friend picking up the mail.

"What big sacks you have?" I laugh.

He laughs too.

"Don't you just love your job?" I ask.
