Was your day as eventful as mine?

Will today be marvellous for you? Building memories?
Today started at 4am as I drove to work. I like to arrive half an hour early so I can have a coffee and read the on line news.
Fridays are 12 noon finish so we get an early start to the weekend. 11.30 comes along and the boss comes down with an urgent job for a customer. Can we cut the job, clean it, bag it and notify the customer that the job is ready for collection.
All tasks completed by 1.15pm. Thinking about going home when a truck arrives to collect 2 steel plates that were dropped off the day before. Two, 32 mm x 2485 mm x 8000 mm plates to be loaded. Each plate weighed 4987 kg - 10,994 lb.
Plates loaded, ready to go home, a truck arrives with a steel plate to be unloaded. Simple 2 minute forklift job.
Finally knock off work at 2pm.
I go to Coventry Village for lunch which was a serving of Biryani Rice and a freshly cooked Paratha. Wow, spicy hot but delicious.
Whilst eating lunch, doing a crossword puzzle my phone rings. It is car salesman Gerrard, “Can you be here at 4pm? Your new car has just arrived”
“Sure thing.”
I rock up and collect my new car, MG ZS Excite - Blue. (Indicative only, not my vehicle, but mine is exactly the same)

On my way home I call into the library to take out some movie DVDs.
Arrive home at 5pm.
That was my day. How was yours?

Nothing as exciting as all that! Dave and I played bridge, as we do every Thursday morning, then went to a farewell luncheon for some bridge friend who are moving. Spent the afternoon watching Brit Box.

Always nice to go out for a meal. It sounds like your bridge friends are moving far away so you may not see them again?
What is Brit Box. If I was to guess, I would say a music show?
 
Well, you had a much more eventful day than I'm having! I'll spare you the details. 🙂

I love your new car, Bret, it's a gorgeous color! 😍 Have fun with it!

Good luck with your new wheels, @Bretrick! Very pretty. :D
 
I bought a $20 scratch off lottery ticket and won $1000, which the store had to give me a money order. I gave the money to my mom. She asked me why was I giving her the money. I told her it was to help pay back my college tuition. I’m only 30 years too late, but better later than never. The state reminded me that I’ll be getting a1099 at the beginning of next year. She needs money like my aunt needs another pair of shoes.

What a bonus, winning $1000. Super thing to do giving it to your mother. 👍
