Friday

It has been a miserable few days.  The fog has been so thick, as thick as I’ve ever seen it.  A real ‘pea souper’ as they say.  There was a traffic accident involving 10 cars outside the house Tuesday morning.  

It was dark when I got home from work and felt quite eerie as I walked down the street I knew so well.  I was walking in the middle of the pavement but couldn’t see the houses through the fog.  I couldn’t judge the distance I had walked from the station and it was only when I saw Mum leaning over our gate, watching out for me and looking very worried that I realised I had reached home. 

I had booked a half-day from work for Wednesday to get prepared for Alan’s company’s Christmas Dance.  When we met for lunch he told me that as the fog showed no sign of clearing the dance had been postponed. I had been looking forward to it and was so disappointed.  I had bought a new dress especially. I had a hair appointment for a set but just had a cut instead.  Alan did come to the house that evening which was quite brave of him considering he could hardly see his hand in front of his face.

I had booked leave for Thursday thinking I might need some relaxing time after a night out.  I didn’t bother to get up until 1.30 which was a waste of a day off but glad I didn’t have to go out in the fog.  It hasn’t let up at all. 

The TV busted yet again and today Mum went to see about getting a new one.  As we rent our televisions there was no delay.  It was delivered and set up this afternoon.  It was a treat not to have bash it when you turn it on.
