I have to give out a few BOINGs.
A big black cloud came over.
I was glad to finish in one piece.
Back home I go.
My friend popped in for coffee and chat.
Thanked her for popping in.
I had a email from the Council, who are servicing my boiler on the 26th July.
Then I had a visit from the Electrican who is going to rewire next door on the same day as the Council is going to service the boiler.
Going to be noisy on that day!
Liquid lunch time.
I had a chat with hubby on his lunch break.
Now to leave to do the afternoon shift.
I put on my winter coat and summer hat, as I don't trust those clouds.
I walked up to put on my lights.
Back down the road to turn on my other lights. Then went and collected my big stick from Sexy Beast.
I had a nice rabbit with friends in the square.
I said goodbye to my friends when it was time to start my shift.
It looks it is going to rain.
Then a van parks on the double yellow lines, so I can't see the traffic coming up the road, and they can't see me going into the road!
They look at me when they drive off!
A few BOINGs given out for the traffic on the otherside of the road.
Finished in one piece.
Collects a catalogue for the next Council meeting.
Back home.
Cup of brew time.
I had a phone call from the Council about the rewiring going to place.
(To confirm the date for my boiler to be serviced)
I didn ask them about if the loft next door is going to be emptied as there is rubbish building up by their back door and no one has been back to finish it!

I chattered with the caretaker of where I park my car.
One parent had parked their car in there
