Ooooh …
But that’s better …
It’s a Sunday morning … and one where I’m doing my usual eleven ’til five shift.
So, of course, today … ?
I’ve got up at six: and will be getting home at six.
My points?
- I’ll probably am going to need a lot of caffeine, by the time I get home.
- I’ve got to iron some shirts, later!
Yep: it’s a fun Sunday evening, ahead!

I hope the trains behave better today, Paul. Now all the wedding guests and the happy couple have left, and I'm here with the girls (the three dogs) I hope to be able to contribute a bit more. It's a big property and I've started teaching again, so we'll see...
Take care! It's nice to be back here!
It should be on my "I Found it at the Movies" Facebook page.
