My get up and go has certainly gone somewhere today. I am just totally shattered. Maybe it`s because outside it`s so dark it is almost like night. We went out shopping to B&Q this morning for some more DIY stuff,ie. MDF board to prepare the floor in the loo, gets some more tile fixative and grouting and a ceiling light and nesting box for my feathered friends who visit our garden in the Spring. That`s if Jim has time to put it up on the wall. I could do it, but me and ladders don`t get on and I don`t want to spend any time in hospital !
After that , he took me for lunch, he`s good like that , bless him. We also go to the same place, the local garden centre which has a little restaurant that is run by some nice young Italian brother`s and they are used to all these regulars that come in there lunchtimes. They usually give us extra chips when we go !
But I am just so exhausted, even after cup loads of coffee. Perhaps the caffiene is having the opposite effect on me. No, I blame the weather, I can`t wait for there to be a good , hard frost to come down to make everything all white and clean looking. I always feel brighter on a frosty morning because it is usually sunny at the same time and it`s great going for a walk through crispy, frozen leaves.
Anyway, tired or not, I still have to make an appearance at work and having to face Attilina the Hunness,(my boss). The same age as my daughter but without the sense of humour and youthful jois de vive (have I spelt that right?) ..LOL.
Mind you, I have ordered my new washing machine that I am getting as a replacement for my old one. See entry ODE TO A WASHING MACHINE and you`ll see what thats all about. I can`t wait for it to arrive and neither can dear daughter who has been doing all of my washing lately. She`s a good lass!
So to get ready for work, but never mind I`m redundant from January 8th. and I can get used to not going out in the late evening for the first time in 19 years...LOVELY!

Quite a few people having down days today, me being one of them. I hate this weather also, damp, gloomy, neither one thing nor the other. I love a good sharp frost as well and snow. Oh, if we could have some snow. Everything so bright inside the house and out. Your boss sounds awful - look forward to January is what I say. Your lunchplace sounds delightful but good job I cannot go there, extra chips would be a no no for me, I have to count each one lol xxxx
I love frosty mornings also, I usually get a lot done during the cold winter months, therefore I am looking forward to it. Congratulations on the new washing machine, I know you will enjoy it. When I get a new appliance I can't stay away from it. LOL God Bless
Ah well....................if you are down you can only go up.
