Spreading The Friday Feeling!

There are some people who want to throw their arms round you simply because it is Christmas; there are other people who want to strangle you simply because it is Christmas.

Welcome to the Friday Feeling 🎈

Heardle Time:

Now to turn on my lights. 

Now let's go to work...🍭

Still having car drivers not stopping.

Plenty of BOINGs given out.

It didn't help that was a pile of dog poop on the pavement over the road where I stand in the afternoon.

I was warning the parents about it before I crossed.

Some kids still managed to walk into it.

I had to put up with late braking of cars.

Some left it really late to stop!

Finished in one piece.

 I told the Clerk at the Parish Council about the dog poop.

She replied, "I always clean up after everyone, including dogs!"

I left and off to Dunelm I went.

I got the thermal linings for the kitchen curtain.

Back home.

I wished him a good weekend and I started my final shift of the week.

The cars over the otherside of the road was stopping in the KEEP CLEAR space, which I had trouble crossing the children over with no room for them to cross!

A few BOINGs were handed out for good measure!

At least I finished in one piece!

Back home I go.

Time for a brew!
