I ask a lot of questions. It can sometimes annoy people but I do it to gain knowledge. There is so much to know and learn so I don’t waste time.

So we now have a road map to guide us to a lockdown free life. Great. Let’s carry on with the metaphors then. How many planned roadworks will there be and have the correct diversion routes all ready been set up or will they just wing it? Have they anticipated the heavy traffic on the main roads that will cause a build up of emissions and have they considered the angry divers that will then take the law into their own hands and choose a different route? Most importantly was this road map made by the most suitable and qualified person for the job or was it set out by someones mate?

I had an eventful morning. A man has just come in wearing nothing but a dressing gown, sunglasses and headphones.

What a strange morning. Every so often a situation will happen in the deli and then when it’s done I step back and realise that i’ve matured! I’m very opinionated but i’ve learnt from standing behind the counter that sometimes you just need to let a person have their moment and not say anything. I rarely do this and it should be noted that if I say nothing it means I have no hope for you. All T all shade

I woke up 30 minutes late this morning and like with everything, I blame my mother. She put the heating on and it was so cosy my body didn’t arise from it’s restful slumber!

This morning I woke up in a burrito like state. I put on a hundred layers and braced the cold.

You’re the best!

So i’ve made a scavenger hunt for my brothers birthday and i’ve been testing my clues out of the customers. I think I might have made them too difficult. I’m not the most intelligent being around (I couldn’t even spell intelligent) but this might be more of a challenge then I anticipated!
