Work has been nice and steady today, finishing at 4 as have worked lots of extra hours recently. In the office again this morning , 10 min drive home and log back on here . 

Having my hair done tonight, need to pack as well. 

Have got a parking fine £45 from the car park near the restaurant I went to last Thursday. I was expecting it as it would appear over the last 14 months it's gone from 3 free hours to one. Should have checked I guess before we parked but just assumed it was the same. It is what it is but annoying. 

Best get back to work for the last hour.

Even worse than the parking fines - the bus lanes!  It is almost impossible to drive through Manchester without hitting a bus lane.  One car length through & wham heres the fine.  I was literally one car length into the bus lane because I couldn't get out.  Hate the place.  Can't believe I used to drive through there every day on the commute to & from work.  They are 24/7 too unlike most places that are rush hour only.  Where I live they seem to have removed most of them, which I found rather interesting.

Yup the bus lanes are a nightmare. Not been into town for a long time and I never go in the car unless I’m with ds and he drives 😃
pits really cloudy and muggy here hope the sun is shining for you SSG 👍

I couldn't agree more, Manchester is a nightmare , I always get the bus or tram in .

Windermere is very busy , parking is a nightmare I feel sorry for the locals. The hotel has a big car park thank goodness . Have had a saunter round the Windermere shops a mahoosive ice cream . Been to the big garden centre and bought my first Christmas present . I am going to my friends shortly for my evening meal and a sit outside on her patio. It's been grey all day but it's warm. Tomorrow I intend getting the bus to Grasmere one of my favourite places , the car isn't moving as it will be chaotic on the roads because of the swimming event . No Milann I am not swimming in it but my friends 3 daughters are on Saturday. 

I have spent some money on coffee and the Xmas present . 

Have a good evening everyone .
