Getting ready...

I was busy at work today, answering more moany emails (two were as long as novels) and helping Angela and Shirley who were taking calls. Angela needed a lot of help as she is so new, and Shirley again asked me a question that she knew the answer to! Consequently, the time flew by and 2pm arrived very quickly!

Keith had given me a lift to work as the VW was still at the garage, now having some bodywork repaired. Our holiday is less than four weeks away, and we wanted the car serviced and the scrape along the back left bumper sorted out. We have taken delivery of the headlamp converters, and the Crit'Air sticker needs to be attached to the windscreen. It's getting exciting!

Keith and I returned home, and I pottered about doing some jobs, which included sorting our recycling. Sophie and I are going to Olney on Saturday, and popping to George's recycling depot first. He no longer accepts pet food pouches but he does take Pringles tubes, and lots of other hard-to-recycle items to raise money. We have a bag full of Pringles tubes (collected over a long time!), as well as toothpaste tubes, loaf bags and make-up remover wipe packets that he will take.

The weather today has been breezy and rainy, with some heavy downpours in the evening. This time of year is always unsettled, though! One minute it's sunny and mild, the next it's snowing!

I realised today that it's the third anniversary of the first lockdown in 2020. Unbelievably, a colleague at work had covid this week! Who would have believed it would still be about?!
