Back to work...

In the end, Keith didn't go shopping today, so I drove myself to work and parked easily. It was bitterly cold, and the roads were frosty, so I took it easy when walking the short distance to the building's entrance. I could see Sheila's car already parked, but the office lights weren't on.

She was in the kitchen when I arrived and unlocked the office door for me. Sara was working from home today, so it was just Sheila and me until Kathy came in at 9am. There weren't masses of emails, but I had to send off the box office returns, which took me a fair while to do.

Sharon arrived at 9.30am and had parked easily as well. Today hasn't really been a typical day, though, as a lot of people are still off for Christmas. The phones were busy, and I had to pitch in and help several times.

The day did fly by, though, and 4pm came quickly, thank goodness. Getting out of the car park was easy, and I was home by 4.30pm. Sophie had been out with Laura and Daisy all afternoon and had eaten lunch at The Telegraph in Moulton, so she didn't want dinner. Keith went to the pub, we opened a bottle of white wine and watched an excellent documentary on Netflix about the Australian woman who poisoned four members of her family by serving them Deathcap mushrooms. Three of them died, and it was a miracle that the fourth member survived. It was riveting viewing, and I remembered the case being in the news. 

Keith came home looking frozen, and we enjoyed cold slices of turkey and the trimmings from yesterday for dinner. We watched the last episode of the documentary after eating, and then Sophie and I caught the first episode of Amanda and Alan's show about renovating a house in Corfu. It was a great end to a busy Friday!
