Shaking Down The Monday Feeling

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders,but they have never failed to imitate them - James Baldwin

Back on that Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

I looked out of the window to see if we are going to see the sun today...

 Fingers crossed!

I enjoyed tea and hug in bed.

My husband and younger brother were having a right ding dong via text message.

We texted him on Saturday afternoon, to see our on dad on Sunday and Monday.

He seemed to have forgot about Sunday.

His phone was turned off when we tried to phone last night.

During the faceoff via test message, he turned round and said:

"You have to give me 24 hours notice so I can go over and see our dad!!!!!"

All he is interested is clearing our dad's house when he is gone.So much for being interested in our dad's wellbeing!

I gave hubby and kids some wet 💋💋💋 before they the house.

I meanwhile enjoyed some coffee and vitamin C before I got on with some housework.

Dishwasher, and tumble drier was put on,Recycling put out....

Light lunch time

 Time for a little ride in Sexy Beast

 

 I gets up the road,

The CD player is not working again.

I had to listen to the radio for the rest of the time.

It didn't help I had a silver car sitting on my arse all the way to work. It tried its damnest to keep up when I put my foot down.(Keeping to the speed limit, I might add)

I went around the two blind bends really slow, and it nearly got took out by the car coming the other way!

When I got to work, 

A little peak at the newspaper.

 I had a lovely red face when I finished.

It was the same colour as my t-shirt.

I had a lorry blocking my drive again.

I had to park in factory's car park next door, while it moved out of the way.
