A week on

Getting up for work on Monday was a pain, but with a set of accounts to get done by Wednesday noon, it was important to get back into the swing. On the other hand Ailsa had booked Monday off, so her and Ben had a nice lie in. Ailsa got up at 9:20 whilst Ben eventually surfaced at 2pm! I assisted Ben all this week with the papers but he will be on his own next week. He collected another £12.50 in tips that had been handed into the shop. Friday morning was the warmest so far this week at 0 degrees and it has been as cold as -6 degrees therefore requiring the removal of ice each morning from the car, with the journey home tonight very foggy.

Actually, the presence of ice was one of the reasons we were delayed at Heathrow last Sunday whilst they cleared ice off the wings of a plane!

We're still going through tissues like it is going out of fashion, and this time of year is a right pain. No Christmas to look forward to, BUT...we are off to Center Parcs in three weeks.

I am still playing "holiday music" including the burned John Mayer CDs and The Script which Cath Corp let me borrow, for burning.

There's no game to watch tomorrow. The referee has called it off, albeit early, but the pitches are rock solid.
