In Between Days

Saturday.
Work. A busy but enjoyable enough day. Buses were busy and a little unpredictable because of Goose fair. We missed the 33, but at least the Cotgrave was on time.
Got home and watched the first half of Tim's Halloween Hoopla. You learn so much during these. Charlotte came round as she'd bought me a squishmellow bat (which we've called Peggy as it has one tooth) so the bed crew grows larger! It takes us a few minutes to take them all off the bed before we go to bed, lol... 
Sunday.
Again very busy after a slow start. Saw all my regulars, Val whose husband comes with her was on her own as he had his covid and flu jabs and they had made him poorly. We have ours next week, and last time it made Kev ill. It's always a gamble. 
Again right from the 7.30 am bus they were late, and we actually got the 4.15pm one that was running 15 minutes late.  At least the Cotgrave was on time... 
Watched the second part of the Halloween Hoopla and again we learned a valuable tip to colour glass using alcohol inks, which solves an existing niggle with the wire spooky tree. When we first bought it, it had orange glass tealight holders, the moves over the years saw them break. So we bought clear ones to replace them never being able to find the coloured ones that were the right size and shape to fit. Now we have seen Tim change plain glass with his inks we know that we can do the same to those. The beauty is that once dry they'll be water safe so they can be cleaned! So I've ordered a big bottle of orange alcohol ink so we can do them. Thanks Tim
