In Between Days

Monday.

As I missed a signed for package on Saturday ( we were at work) Our postie bought it this morning. It was a candle holder by bath and body works I got in the sale at Next. It is quite stunning and lights up and plays a tune. It's a Halloween one, so I've put it to one side for now, while we still have a lot of Christmas stuff out. I'm very pleased with it, and even more so with how carefully it was packed when you compare the tree from The Range, there is a yawning difference between the two... 

Another parcel came this time from Wayfair. I found a new duvet cover ( yeah, we probably didn't need one, but it was in the sale, so bugger it!) It's a Halloween town one. Same style to the Christmas town one we have just taken off, so, we put it on the bed and the bedroom is now back to normal and by that I mean Halloween dark and haunting. It does mean that we have gone in the linen and edited it down by getting rid of a couple of sets. 

After lunch we settled down to watch some YouTube and we watched A Ghost Story for Christmas, by Mark Gatis on Iplayer. Which was based on a novel by E Nesbit. Very entertaining, which led us to find ones from a few years ago done by Christopher Lee  ( Daddy) listening to him read MR James Ghost Stories. I love listening to his voice, like Vincent Price and James Mason's they could read a crisp packet and I'd listen intently. Plus I had an audio book of him reading Dracula, ask me how far I got listening to it? I get to the end of Chapter one and wake up about chapter 8! His soothing tones would be like vallium... If I'm ever struggling to sleep I put audible on and his version of Dracula, and away I go. We both admitted to feeling sleepy after one story. Nap time for us oldies! Thanks Daddy!

In Between Days

Sunday.

A bit busier than a normal Sunday, but no where near last week. Big orders with lots of party food and booze. Luckily everyone was through the checkouts in a reasonable time. The buses were OK both the 58 and the Cotgrave, but the latter seemed to take forever and the driver was very jerky, I ended up feeling quite sick by the time we got off. 

And that's us done until next Saturday. 

In Between Days

Saturday.

Work.

Busy, which was a surprise as I would have thought people still had loads in. But I suppose all they do is sit and eat. 

Most people were in good mood, a lot saying they were ill over Christmas, lovely, bring it in here, coughing and sneezing over us and licking their fingers before handing you cash. Is it any wonder we as a team end up having all sorts. Thanks to the great unwashed. Made worse by the screens going down, they at least gave us a little protection. 

The day was uneventful enough. We narrowly made the Calverton, bless one of the drivers who saw us trotting across the road and waited. We missed The Cotgrave, but made it round the corner for the 33. We saw Louise, who had Made Kev some quiche. 

My new wedding ring had come which fits like a dream. It looks good too, the original one went in my jewellery box with Kev's original one both sadly worn and battered, but safe at the bottom in velvet bags for safe keeping.
