What are you all up to today? - part 3

Back home once more, decent drive up the road, got home at 4pm,  roads not too busy and no hold ups. Lovely weather here sun is still out, van mostly unloaded, 1 load of washing done and I've even managed a bit of weeding, all the mail has been dealt with just need to do a bit of filling. Garden not as bad as I feared but will need to do a fair bit of prunning.

The definition of hard work - having a day out with your best mate who has just lost his wife two weeks earlier - funeral this Friday.  Bless him. Not something I would recommend to any one. The depths are unfathomable, the questions need restraint, whilst trying to listen with greatest sympathy. The sun shone, all was well as we discussed the Bluebell Line, steam trains and days gone by - never to return  He will be back in NZ in three weeks. I'll miss the big,  soppy, daft Abo.  Sorry to be a tad mournful  ,perhaps I'll crack a joke next time.  Thanks for allowing me to let off a bit of steam.

Well done Redface, your hard days work will have been a godsend to your mate, having lost my wife Nearly 4 years ago valuable time with friends in the early days is priceless, otherwise your mind cannot comprehend what has just happened to you, 

Cheers Matey.

You gave your mate your time when he needed it Redface, well done to you!  I am sure that it was greatly appreciated, you could do no more under the circumstances.

Maybe there was no one else daft enough to take the job? No offence intended, Malcolm, but it's a thought?

Write your comments here...The other driver is no longer available to work days. He has another job in the day, so now he only works evenings and sometimes doesn't turn up to work at all. So the boss is stuck. It's either me or the Worthing delivery area will close.

Well done such a difficult time for anyone and what you need is a good friend, as you were today, to listen and offer some distraction. Your efforts will not go unrewarded.

Quite a lot of pluses there. Welcome home. You'll soon be longing for the open road again ?

It's been a much needed relaxing day today. There was only one delivery to do at lunchtime and after that we spent the rest of the afternoon in the caravan. I slept most of the afternoon and then watched Wimbledon on the telly. The next order came in at 7 p.m. and then 4 more after that. Only half an hour to go to finish work. We also had time to buy some reduced price groceries from Tesco. We got a bag full of it for only 56 pence, all stuff that had reached it's sell by time. As I had banked all my cash earlier, I used my contactless debit card to pay!

Just watched England's most inglorious footy game. Well done to Iceland.  Just goes to show what leaving Europe will achieve eh!  About time time we got a serious squad. How about some capable players that actually go forward to the opponents goal rather than play ' pretty triangles' when passing the ball? Anyone any suggestions?
