Cold and wet November day
The three hours we were out this morning seem an age ago now.
Well it was over 14 hours ago that we went out on a grey morning (still dark). I am glad I had the sense to take my thickest coat with me because it felt really cold on the old airfield at Ford.
We bought some interesting things.
Some will be off to the shop tomorrow and others will wait their turn on eBay.
There are clocks, barometers, glass, china, books, a railway level crossing etc.
All have been sorted and written up in the stock files.
I have packed more things up for the shop.
We will be in Dorking tomorrow fitting in the new shelves and arranging the first of the stock in the new area.
I hope to take most of my stuff out of what will be Bill's area when we arrive.
But I mustn't get in the way of the two who do the window displays - they are doing the Christmas window tomorrow; there have been instructions that we must not impede the creative flow by being in their way!
The weather got worse through the day - the cold wind has brought cold rain. But I have not needed to go further than the dustbin or the garage.
As is traditional on a Saturday winter evening we have enjoyed a roast dinner. I was wary about buying pork - but it was the bargain offer because it was at its use by date. I am never sure if I really like pork that much - but it was fine, well seasoned and flavoured. And, as for Bill..... he thought it was beef!
And Winter Saturdays see us in front of the TV. I really did get a tingle when Austin, the rugby player performed his Paso Doble.
I might have ignored X Factor because they were doing Britney Spears songs - not good at the best of times. And some of the contestants just couldn't make them sound good and hadn't wanted to sing her songs. Fortunately they sang an extra song tonight (not Britney) . Maybe there was time to fill because I read that Britney contributed nothing to the show like other stars do when they are featured.
Now we wait for the results.
I shall get ready for bed before X Factor results come on.
Good night.
