Sunny Sunday

I did house work yesterday

one task was to put my posh hat back in the drawer under my bed

I don't use this drawer much, the bedside table stops me from opening it.

Inside I saw a box given to me from my mum after my dad passed away back in 1986

 Inside was his driving licence

13 pages from 1949 to 1968 

to start with each year and then every 3 years,
those days you had to reapply for your licence

The annual licence cost 5 shillings (25p)

the 3 year licence cost 15 shillings (75p)

 Each year he signed the licence and stuck the page in the booklet,

It is falling to bits, but I love it.

Dad was a lorry driver, a working man

so for me, this is part of him. 

 I have tucked it back in the drawer, nice and safe

I am trying something new, Kiwi seeds, the fruit was not very ripe, so I'm not sure about the seeds, I have them on wet kitchen paper, kept on the warm sunny window sill. I will keep you informed.
Work this morning was good, because no other department was in and the phones turned off, we ploughed into the backlog and made a good headway, by tomorrow it will just as bad, there are three people out of 8 away (1 sick,1 holiday &1 seconded to another department). Well I have done my bit. Hubby was a great help and cleaned bathrooms, so later we are going out on the bike.
This evening, I have a few more plants to dig out and pass them to Chris across the road, Win has a few plants for me, but they are not ready, she has too many stocks, not some thing I would normally grow.
