I have reported it to Cadbury's and they are sending another tin. I think there has been an invasion, through the tunnel, while we were nodding by the fire Val.

Just popping in to refresh the cakes, put the milk on, made sure all the animals are fed, watered and warm.
Medicine trolley is out and on "auto pilot".

Bed? I am an incurable insomniac and although I am most comfortable in bed, I loathe being there.

It is almost Christmas Eve and high time for some mince pies and a glass of something bubbly. I might have a little sing while I dress the tables. Hope everyone is as ok as possible and as ready as can be. Popped to the shops today, supermarket was MANIC, as if they are closing down forever. x:shock:

valval

just found this for the door val

bubbles

Always a good sign and a permanent one for the cafe. will read through our cards, by the fire. Even though it is not too cold, a little warmth goes a long way. XX Take care, Bubbles

presents are under the tree for all who call in
tin full of your favorite treats bubbles just for you val

bubbles

Thanks for the treats Val, I might have to spin them out a bit, having consumed what seems like a million calories in two days. You end up feeling like one big wobbling jelly. A day of eating hardly a thing will not go amiss, just drinks and something light. Everywhere I look there are tins of chocolates, extra thick chocolate biccies, belgian chocolate biscuits, peanuts.............I might have to lie down until New Year. :shock:

Right, time to sort out the cafe before new year, I will have a clean round, put out some fresh cakes, wheaties, fleeces. Re light the fire, poor cuddles was perished.
I found this on the wall, so I have popped it in the bin :shock: :shock: Throwing out good cake, not while I have breath.
the trolley is out, with suitable hangover cures, for those who have one too many sherries on new years eve.

Wishing everyone a happy new year, may it bring a shower of blessings to us all. XXX Bubbles

bubbles

just in case anyone has had one too many I will leave some special medicine to ease the hangover

Coffee a plenty

Now, it is late / early, I should try and get some rest, cup of T and some biscuits before bed though.

you are hired just call in when you get a min and make sure every one who needs a drink gets one and if cake running low leave a note and will nip to shops welcome grab apron if you want it but do not step foot in gents last person in there never came out val

bubbles

Of course you can Joan, you are more than welcome. Duly hired, with payment in lieu of cakes and other goodies.
just whizzing through the pots (as if). windows nice and clean, so we can see the dreadful weather, need to keep an eye, we don't want the new roof on Marigold's stable going west again.

I cant remember when the loo''s where last done, best be having a peek, all is quiet, so I will venture in. not too bad, all bleached and sparkling. I will just dispose of my rubber gloves and put the kettle on.

Thanks you Rose, a lot of bleach was needed. I did not want to mention the mac, I tried to ignore it and sprayed it with 3 in 1 germ killer, best be safe.

I am all set for the cruise, hospital wing, wonderful quarters, with large windows and balcony. Now, I I hear the kettle is on. I have checked that the roof is still on, it is SO terrible outside and has been for what seems to be days and days.
