In Between Days

Saturday.
Bitterly cold start. I wore a coat, my fleece under that and even earmuffs. Tights under my trousers and fingerless gloves. The earmuffs worked a treat, if I wear hat my hair just sticks to my head after I take it off because its so fine. But they keep my ears warm without flattening my hair. I kept my gloves and fleece on for on the shop floor as it was so cold down there. 
The shop isn't any better than it was when we broke up... It looks a tip and there's no flow or sense to where they've put stuff. In the many years I've worked for them as a company, I've never felt so embarrassed to work for a branch. I don't know why they didn't shut, get it done and reopen. Working round us isn't great, and customers hate the changes. But hey, I'm not in charge and the powers that be make the decisions ( but not always for the best). As Christmas draws ever closer I'm dreading it, a tough trading period as it is, combined with chaos and change... Wonderful, not... 
We got home to soup and hot mulled spice ribena, a favourite of ours in the cold weather. Lots of warm cuddles with Willow, the fake fire on ( it might not give off any heat, but watching the flames makes you feel warmer)
A nice relaxed evening watching TV and a fairly early night after a 5.30am start... Nothing better.
