Morning all, happy Friday.Thank you for your comments ☺️
Just having my free coffee in Ner0 before heading to the train station.The skip is arriving this morning so Mr SA is on skip duty. Can you believe there’s a funeral taking place at the church next door. Mr SA says it will be tight for the skip lorry as there are cars parked all over. Just typical!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -

Hope the skip arrival was ok and Mr SA enjoyed the experience.
What a lovely surprise to arrive home to a surprise from your boss. It’s nice to be appreciated.

I had a lovely day apart from the awful bus journey on the way home 😞 This is why I walk. The bus was absolutely rammed. I gave my seat up to a woman with a walking stick so stood up for the journey. I only got the bus because I picked up a click and collect from JL and it was in a huge box. Christmas crackers that you fill yourself in case anyone is intrigued 🤣Forgot there was a Christmas market on the local high street today so had to plough through crowds to get to my road.The skip lorry managed to get the skip in the drive despite the funeral cars but it looks a bit haphazard. Mr SA made sure they left enough room to get his scooter through.Jumped straight in the bath once I got home. Bliss.Today’s exercise was lots of walking.Tonight’s dinner was leftover Romesco chickpea bake.
DS and the GKs are coming tomorrow and we’re off to a Christmas market at a local park with a garden centre.It’s all go 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Lovely to be appreciated and glad you had a good time out.
Enjoy your weekend
