T.G.I.F.

...and not a day to soon...

For some reason this week seemed extremely long and tiresome despite having a couple of days off in the beginning of it. Or because of it. Getting back into a work rhythm isn't so easy especially when coupled with extreme temperatures.

Anyway, Friday is here and thank god for it. Bob is glad too and at the moment his work week continues with a nice staff lunch to celebrate his boss's birthday. Only a few moments ago he came home for a quick shower and change out of his work togs. Due to having to do some extra work he was running more than fashionably late, but took extraordinary amounts ( to my mind! ) of time to find the right colour pen in order to label the present while I was getting stressed for him;

" Schatzi, I usually love you dearly but right now...! It doesn't matter what colour you use!!! "

Don't we all have those marital moments?

When I went to the shop for deliveries a moment ago, I had a little chuckle to myself. Well, a chuckle and a shiver! The chuckle was due to a whole bunch of young guys standing in a long line ( social distancing on the go ) waiting to pay and one of them had not put on a mask. Gosh, did they point the error of his ways out to him. Hope he learnt his lesson...But, my faith in youth is restored!

As to the shiver...don't know how to describe it really. There is a local man in his fifties who is almost as tall as he is wide. Well not quite, but hefty he is and there is the rub. He persists in going top-less to the shop. Just his shorts ( thank the lord they are Bermuda ones ) and nothing else. Honestly, I don't know where to walk and or where to look. Masks and shirts should be a given. Village life, got to love it!

All in all, this Friday is not too bad despite the week having been long. All is set for our short holiday, a.k.a. the weekend and the many adventures it might bring...
