So my last work day and it feels just fine

Cold and with some mist this morning, so I used my camera on the way to work, I almost came late to work on my last day of work, had been fun if that had happened for the first time in the 17 years I’ve worked there 🙂 🙂 🙂

I had to scrape ice from the car this morning but we didn’t actually have any frost, it only dropped to 2C (35,6 F) The sky will be clear again tonight so I’ve moved in some of the more sensitive plants to the cool cellar now and all orchids to the windows facing east or north. I would have liked to bring in more but it’s dark outside so I can’t ind them now, all I can do is to hope that the frost stays away for another night.

     

Neither me nor my work friend got that bag yesterday 🙂 🙂 🙂 The boy (who I call the one forcing me to quit) eventually made the work friend go up to the office to collect it himself. I think the boy understood that it would not work on me to go up there like a beggar so just before I was going to go home he had to go and find me 🙂 🙂 🙂 It was quite visible that he didn’t like that 🙂 🙂 The bag had of course the company’s logo on everything but those can be covered with other things 🙂 I must admit that the fleece sweater is really good so I’ll find one of those stickers or what they are called that I simply can iron over the old logo.

This is the beautiful pot I got from my work friend I pick up sometimes on my way to work.
This is the gift I got from the rest, Now I can buy ice cream for quite some time 🙂

The colors are starting to show in the garden.

Now I’ll take a few days of doing nothing but on Monday I’ll call two high end kitchen makers we have in this area, Kvänum kök and Vedum kök. People who work there really likes it and the pay is much better than in most companies around here I would take any job but they do paint lots of their products and I’m lucky to have learned to paint at Volvo cars and was amongst the last ones to learn everything from painting the cars and check and fix all surfaces before painting, ok that was a long time ago but it’s easy to get it all back thankfully.

My care tree, I don’t think it ever has carried so many berries before.
Lots of apples and these are really tasty.
I could make a lot of rose hip soup if I had the energy to remove all the hairy seeds in the hips 🙂
Time to harvest all then hazelnuts 🙂 First time this bush gives any at all 🙂

My work friends in the painting department Gave me a present today 🙂 They thought the boys thank you for long and faithful service was both odd and fun so they made me a card saying just that and inside it they had bought gift certificates for ice cream from the Ice cream van 🙂 🙂 🙂 It was also a birthday gift because I’m turning 60 on Sunday 🙂

     

Have a great day!

    Really nice photos of the mist today.

    That is funny about the bag of logo-gear you were given. I am sure most of your co-workers will miss you.

    I hope you can have some ice cream on your birthday 🎂🎉

      The nerve of these people who fire you and “gift” you with some logo-printed shit ! As if you want to advertise for them 🤢.

      I am sure your skills will be precious to another company very soon. Meanwhile, just take your time, enjoy life, nature, ice cream and your dogs !

        Hi Poppy_Celeste!

        I am however not surprised, things will change as soon as the new CEO takes over fully, the boy won’t have an easy time after that.

        Let’s hope so, I am after all getting older and would most likely semi retire when I’m 63 – 64 years old. So I am very grateful that I did learn how to paint Volvo cars, they wouldn’t let any bad painting job pass.

        I truly will 🙂 especially the dogs 🙂

      Hi ppekka!

      I was lucky to see it, it evaporates away as soon as the sin rise,

      I wasn’t surprised though 🙂 🙂 🙂
