A really busy day in the yesterday shop was begun with a thing we call the "count". The hand held computer instructs each department to "count" so many items every morning. It seems the number is determined by how good the departments admin is before the count is generated. Normally there's between 6 and 20 in the shop and half that amount in the warehouse. I normally check first thing how many there are so i can determine when to do the count as it has to be completed by 0930. So I looked yesterday morning and it was 50 in the shop and 25 in the warehouse! hey ho took me forever and then you have the knock on effect of trying to catch up all your shift.
Here's hoping it wont be a big one today - - - . We seem to have adopted a pigeon around the back of the terrace. It appeared about 5 days ago and its a racing pigeon with 2 rings on. I shooed it away so that Tom (the cat) wouldn't get it only to be told by our next door neighbour that he had been feeding it. It followed him into number 1 into which he's fitting a kitchen. He locked it in overnight only to find it made a mess everywhere to repay his kindness. It was wandering around yesterday evening as we sat by the fish pond having a sundowner and even Tom has started to ignore it. If poor old Grumpy was still with us it would have been dinner on its first day in residence!
Deborah is away in Whitby and having a good time as described in a flurry of texts yesterday, all excited at seeing a fly past by a spitfire and hurricane, and looking forward today to seeing the Red Arrows at 3 this afternoon. I shall rib her by text about entering a fun run that's scheduled for 10 this morning. She was off to bed by 9.30 last night so the sea air and itinerary of yesterday wore her out!
So off to the fun factory!
1730 Ooooops red arrows tomorrow not today
