Raining nice and heavy.

Half an hour into my shift, the rain stops and the sun comes out!

Goes to Morrisons to get the newspaper and bits.

Found a list in my trolley↓

Got chatting to a good friend, who used to be my late parent's postman.

He will be celebrating his 80th Birthday in two weeks.

I told him,"He doesn't look a day older than 60!"

He was happy with that!

Got my bits and left the store and home I go.

The coffee machine went on.

Loaded up the dishwasher and put it on.

Big winter coat, and gloves goes on.

I said goodbye to everyone.

Low lying sun time!

Still had car drivers not stopping on both sides.

I put my stick out, and this car driver suddenly done a emergency stop!

I could feel the burn when I crossed the road in front of him!

Finished in one way.

I'm not going to have a lot of kids to cross over due to the Teacher's Strike.

Now home I go.

Time for a brew.

The friend of my late neighbour's son came around again to stay the Council just can't evict me, I know that.
