Got chatting about the house next door.

Then I say goodbye to everyone and has to put up with the low lying sun.
Then I have two vans blocking my view of cars coming up the road.
The Traffic Warden told to move,
It did to the opposite side on double yellow lines and on a bus stop. The van then moved and parked on the live single line further down the road which you can't park on between 3pm - 4pm.
The Traffic Warden ticketed a red car that was parked on the live line earlier and got abuse for giving them a ticket.
My fun carried on.
Nearly hit a windscreen as a car drove straight under/around my raised stick.
One car slammed his brakes on, causing smoke to come from his wheels and made a nasty skid mark on the road when they stopped!
My other friend appeared towards the end of my shift.
Once I finished, we walked over to Sexy Beast.
I gave him, his piece of Halloween cake.
I told him to be a bit earlier tomorrow.
I wished him a good evening.
On the way home, I followed an ex-Councillor.
He kept looking at me in his mirror as his car was veering to the left a lot. He went off down a side road. I was worrying he was going to follow me home!
Cup of brew time.
I wrote two blog posts.
Tea time.
Then to read today's newspaper.
I had a parcel of mine, pushed through the letterbox.
